Its been well over a year since I've had the privilege of receiving news letter posts from Maria Popova's site "Marginalian." The wisdom, insight and extraordinary flare Maria has as a writer is absolutely captivating, thought provoking and inspirational. Often focusing on the great and gifted writers of our time, Maria's own gift of writing draws attention to the beauty within each creative she herself encounters -  be they, artist, philosopher, poet or writer. The magic is in the reading and reflecting of her prose. You can  find Maria' s web site on........🌈           https://www.themarginalian.org/                                   

Insights by Maria Popova on Irish Poet Philosopher John Donohue.

"Every once in the bluest moon, if your lucky, you encounter someone with such powerful and generous light in their eyes that they kindle the lost light within you and return it magnified; someone whose calm, kind, steady gaze penetrates the very centre of your being and, refusing to look away from even the shadowy parts of you, falls upon you like a benediction.." Maria Popova. The Marginalian. (ref 1a below)

"There is a quiet light that shines in every heart. It draws no attention to its self, though it is always secretly there. It is what illuminates our minds to see beauty, our desire to seek possibility, and our hearts to love life. Without this subtle quickening our days would be empty and wearisome, and no horizon would ever awaken our longing. Our passion for life is quietly sustained from somewhere in us that is wedded to the energy and excitement of life. This shy inner light is what enables us to recognize and receive our very presence here as a blessing." John O'Donohue, Irish  Philosopher & Poet (January 1st, 1956 - January 4, 2008)  ref 1b below
