Unfortunately he died suddenly at age fifty-two just as his book of blessings, To Bless the Space Between Us, was being published.
The loss of his powerfully wise and lyrical voice has been profoundly missed, but his many readers are given a special opportunity to revisit John in a new book based on a series of papers he wrote on the elements of water, stone, air, and fire, now published here for the first time. O'Donohue's readers know him as both a spiritual guide and a poet, and in this work he exhibits both qualities, sharing his Celtic heritage and his love for his native landscape in the west of Ireland. As O'Donohue explores a range of themes relating to the way we live our lives today, he reveals how the energy and rhythm of the natural world-its innocence and creativity, its power and splendor-hold profound lessons for us all. With a foreword written by his beloved brother, Pat, this illuminating book is an inspired reflection on the ancient wisdom of the earth.
Currently reading this book by one of my favorite authors. I am finding this book much different than his other works. It's as if he's throwing out postulations and theories and ideas but is not ready to dig deeper into their themes.
Nonetheless I find myself stopping often to read over again what I just read and also to consider what he is saying on my own deeper plane of thought.

I don't always need someone to pull apart everything for me to feel connected to their writing. I wish I had the opportunity to meet him and savor his words in person and to cultivate a conversation. He's influencing me to think deeper about my life as a new mother and birth is a common theme for his writing as it is about the cyclical nature of Earth and her elements. So much beauty in his words about the four elements but I wish he would have taken a deeper dive into them.
He's just scratched the surface and now we must do the inner work to find the meaning. Perhaps that was his goal all along. This was the first book I have read anything by John ODonohue. I did enjoy the book. There were four main chapters, air, water, fire and stone. My favourite chapter was fire. There were some poems and quotes that were in the book.
The book was written in pose but at times felt that it as a steam of consciousness. This was the first book I have read anything by John O’Donohue. I did enjoy the book.
