  2. John O'Donohue _ Four Elements: Reflections on

    To young mind, work seemed to be the price that was gladly paid for the privilege of living so closely with the earth. Work was a real conversation with the landscape. It was not an abuse or raiding of the landscape. It was amazing to learn how to work in this context.

    The interplay between farmers and the elements was a poem without words, the echo which would always return to him.The air could hold the "breeze of the rain" or the "wind of warmth" to the discerning nose.The stone carved its memory deep into the hands that chiseled it.Fire was life in the hearth which was the center of home.Water introduced itself to us from its most natural source in streams and wells.

  8. John O'Donohue _ Four Elements: Reflections on

    Reflection comes between us and every other person and object in the world. An object or a person can be reflected in so many different ways. Yet the heart of an object or the essence of the heart can never be reflected. All faith and creativity is the hunger to cross over this frontier, it is the desire for pure and total encounter and belonging. Love is an affair between a reflection and its object.
