The Vibration of the Eternal
About this book
Beloved poet and philosopher shares profound insights on our hunger to belong and the grandeur of possibility found in our longing.In the quiet spaces of our lives, we feel it—a deep stirring in our hearts, a yearning to bridge the distance between what is and what could be. It shows up when everything we want is before us, when life seems to have come together, yet another voice appears—a whisper—that there is something still missing. “The restlessness of longing is not a flaw or failure,” says John O’Donohue. “It is the divine dissatisfaction that keeps us alive to our potential and the radiance of what is yet to be discovered.”With The Vibration of the Eternal, beloved Irish poet and philosopher John O’Donohue shares an intimate and life-changing audio program for understanding the profound mystery of life and our universal desire for belonging, connection, and meaning.

His words echo with timeless wisdom as he offers reflections Longing as a sacred flame—a divine hunger that birthed us, sustains us, and is waiting to receive us again The gift of presence—the transcendence of distraction, and an invitation to fully inhabit each moment The dance of longing and belonging—where absence inspires creativity, and connection becomes meaning Nature as sacred guide—where mountains and rivers become our teachers, compassionate and kind Awakening to life—a call to be curious, reflective, and open to the wonder and complexity of being alive And much more“May each of us have the wisdom to enter generously into our own unease,” says O’Donohue. “As we do, we’ll discover the new direction our longing wants us to take.” This revered work offers nourishment for the soul, calling us to awaken to the vast, luminous fullness of being.
