About this listen
Our bodies are mere outlines of a vast and complex interior world, a landscape of contradiction and immense mystery. This Celtic view of the human condition predates Christianity yet survives to this day as part of Ireland's unique spiritual tradition. In The Inner Landscape, poet and Catholic scholar John O'Donohue explores the themes of self-exile and hardship and the Celtic way of welcoming paradox and finding precious light in the darkest valleys of our inner terrain.
Instead of fearing the contradictions of the outer world, O'Donohue begins, the Celtic people welcomed them. They developed special blessings for times of suffering in the belief that hardship leads to a special insight or gift of the spirit. When you learn the Celtic "secret of equilibrium" - how to see every difficulty as a threshold of possibility - you renew your life with unending possibilities. Despite our vast technologies, O'Donohue says, our real knowledge is minimal. Only within "the inner landscape" with which we are each blessed can true knowing take place.

Another wonderful reading
While I have quite a few books by John O’Donohue, his spoken word adds magic and meaning in a way reading plain text cannot. Can’t get enough of this author/poet/mystic/theologian/incredible human being…

a worthy heart felt contribution
anything written and read by the late John O'donahue is never time wasted
i am glad John has given us his thoughts on life's contradictions and suffering, this will always be difficult and controversial topics that nobody will ever likely fully agree with or grasp his approach to the ideas he discusses.
best we can ask for is that he has tackled this with great tenderness and compassion.
