  The Vibration of the Eternal

  John O'Donohue PhD

  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. Here, he explores a series of themes that evoke in us an awareness of the profound beauty, depth, and grace inherent in our existence and the boundless possibility within and beyond us. His words echo with timeless wisdom as he offers reflections on:• 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.

  Amy Levy

  Amy Levy was born in London, England in 1861, the second of seven in a fairly wealthy Anglo-Jewish family. The children read and participated in secular literary activities and became firmly integrated into Victorian life. 
  Her education was at Brighton High School, Brighton, before studies at Newnham College, Cambridge; she was the first Jewish student when she arrived in 1879, but left after four terms. 
  Amy’s writing career began early; her poem ‘Ida Grey’ appeared when she was only fourteen. Her acclaimed short stories ‘Cohen of Trinity’ and ‘Wise in Their Generation,’ were published by Oscar Wilde in his magazine ‘Women's World’. 
  Her poetic writings reveal feminist concerns; ‘Xantippe and Other Verses’, from 1881 includes a poem in the voice of Socrates's wife. ‘A Minor Poet and Other Verse’ from 1884 comprises of dramatic monologues and lyric poems. 
  In 1886, Amy began a series of essays on Jewish culture and literature for the Jewish Chronicle, including ‘The Ghetto at Florence’, ‘The Jew in Fiction’, ‘Jewish Humour’ and ‘Jewish Children’. 
  That same year while travelling in Florence she met the writer Vernon Lee. It is generally assumed they fell in love and this inspired the poem ‘To Vernon Lee’.  
  Her first novel ‘Romance of a Shop’, written in 1888 is based on four sisters who experience the pleasures and hardships of running a London business during the 1880s. This was followed by Reuben Sachs (also 1888) and concerned with Jewish identity and mores in the England of her time and was somewhat controversial.  
  Her final book of poems, ‘A London Plane-Tree’ from 1889, shows the beginnings of the influence of French symbolism. 
  Despite many friendships and an active life, Amy suffered for many years with serious depressions and this, together with her growing deafness, led her to commit suicide by inhaling carbon monoxide on September 10th, 1889. She was 27.
