John O’Donohue, Oregon Interview, 2004
Irish poet and philosopher John O’Donohue’s words comfort, challenge and illuminate some of the deepest questions related to living a meaningful life today.In this interview, full of stories from his childhood and references from his study of philosophy and travels all over the world, O’Donohue, in his lyrical and sometimes humorous style, covers such powerful topics as:
- The keys to a mystical life: solitude, stillness and silence
- The relationship between destiny, providence and freedom
- The role of gentleness and tenderness in your life
- The magic trio of change, fear and negativity
- The power of creativity as an access to the secret form of yourself
The interview, conducted by award-winning writer Diane Covington, took place at the end of a seven-day retreat along the wild Oregon coast, fall of 2004. The focus of the retreat was: “Change as a journey of awakening, transfiguration and homecoming”.
