When love comes in to your life, unrecognized dimensions of your destiny awaken and blossom and grow. Possibility is the secret heart of time. On its outer surface time is vulnerable to transience. Regardless of its sadness or beauty, each day empties and vanishes. In its deeper heart, time is transfiguration. Time minds possibility and makes sure that nothing is lost or forgotten. That which seems to pass away on the surface of time is in fact transfigured and housed in the tabernacle of memory. Possibility is the secret heart of creativity.
In John O'Donohue's "Anam Cara," the author reflects on the transformative power of love, which can awaken new possibilities in one's life. Love acts as a catalyst that reveals unrecognized aspects of our destiny, prompting personal growth and evolution. While time may seem fleeting and ephemeral, each moment is infused with potential, enriching our experiences and memories.
O'Donohue emphasizes that underneath time's transient exterior lies a deeper essence that nurtures creativity and possibility. Instead of seeing time as something that simply passes, he invites us to recognize it as a force that preserves and transforms our experiences, ensuring that nothing is truly lost. Our memories house these transfigured moments, keeping them alive within us and fueling our creative spirits.
