Blessing for the Here and Now


From the moment you are born
your death walks beside you
without showing its face.

When fear invades your life
or what you love is lost
you feel death's empty grasp.
 
The presence of your death
wakes you up
to scarce and fleeting time,
gathers you
to heed the nagging call.
 
 
After John O' Donohue (2007)
