This was a repeat listen, found in the middle of the night to lull me to sleep. So lovely is O'Donohue's voice and indeed his thoughts on spiritual being.

Checked out from Hoopla, this listen inspired me to purchase a larger O'Donahue audio collection "Longing and Belonging". More than 30 hours of beautiful deep thoughts, it includes this and six other publications.
