Everything that happens…

/ moragnoffke 





 







Everything that happens to you has the potential to deepen you. It brings to birth within you new territories of the heart 

John O’ Donohue 





A lot has happened in my life and I am sure a lot has happened in yours too. New territories of the heart, I suspect, have been born. Wouldn’t it be grand to be able to sit around a big round table and share and collaborate.





All unfolds
 as it should, 
piece by piece, 
peace by peace... 
All the pieces of our worlds 
come together 
in puzzle like forms. 
Some difficult, 
some rewarding and satisfying, 
 some saddening 
but I am glad 
for all the pieces 
in my life 
because they bring birth 
to new territories 
so cherished 
It is hard to describe.





I hope you are well, or at least birthing new territories. Take care.





Morag Noffke

    Dear Morag,  I want you to know how wonderful this is. And yes, I am a changed person. And my faith is deeper because of all that has happened since I lost my Love.And it is no co-incidence that you sent me a John O’Donohue  quote. I found one in Nov 2021 that spoke of those who go before us helping and guiding us. It struck me like lightning for some reason. The very next month I would recall it and be open to that possibility. I will be sharing your poem with the writing group on Wednesday and yes, one day we will drink tea and tell of our lives and how wonderful that the Spirit brought us together. You have blessed me today and tomorrow’s kindnesses will include your writing to me if that is O.K. God bless,Sharon

      Oh thank you so much! I appreciate you. Thank you for sharing with such depth it means a lot to me. I am touched and honored by how the Spirit moves in such mysterious ways through us. With pleasure, please share with the writing group, may God bless you and them too. I do hope to drink tea with you one day and share our live’s stories. Wouldn’t that be wonderful. Thank you for keeping in touch. Much love, Morag x

    I have found that there are painful, sad, disruptive times in our lives. But through them or because of them, the happy, peaceful, experiences help us appreciate the beauty, wisdom, love, and joy even more substantial and more enjoyed.

    Dear Morag, I’d be happy to sit at that table with you & your guests here & once we’d all introduced ourselves, I would hope that the table could be folded away & we could mingle!  Your poem is wonderful. 💐🙋‍♂️

      I am sorry I didn’t reply to you, I remember reading it. I must have got distracted. I am touched to think that you found it profound. It would be amazing indeed! To share and catch up. Xx
