John O'Donohue Quote

This is the time to be slow,Lie low to the wallUntil the bitter weather passes.Try, as best you can, not to letThe wire brush of doubtScrape from your heartAll sense of yourselfAnd your hesitant light.If you remain generous,Time will come good;And you will find your feetAgain on fresh pastures of promise,Where the air will be kindAnd blushed with beginning.
