From the mountains of Connemara to friendly pub conversations, John O’Donohue had the ability to make the most numinous questions personal.

Based on conversations over years with Irish broadcaster John Quinn, these selections include thoughts on the gifts of aging, our fascinating relationship with memory, and why we need not fear death.

• Why the insights of mystics like Meister Eckhart are more relevant than ever in a world prioritizing image over substance
• Contemplation of nature, its landscapes, and our intertwined relationship with both
• A reading of one of the special dawn Easter masses given by John at Corcomroe Abbey in his beloved Co. Clare, Ireland
• Poems and blessings in celebration of the ache of absence, imagination, and the turning of the seasons

Walking in Wonder is exceptional

What an amazing production about an extraordinary individual. As he has said words are a living vehicle, and these words, narration and content prove his observation. As an artist, I have been carving time, motion and color for forty years...John O’Donohue’s words, his deep insights are masterpieces without question.

The beautiful evocative and deeply descriptive language of John O’Donohue brings calm and insight.

The authors’ brother read John O’Donohue’s text. I can imagine they probably share inflection, brogue and accent. This book has many subjects and stories, many poems and anecdotes from the author’s own life. It is far ranging and not a little eclectic but the central theme of the need for people to love and know one another through real conversations carries through It all. A beautiful and almost contemplative listen.

Absolutely beautiful

I was introduced to John O’Donohue Through Krista Tippett’s Onbeing podcast and have followed him since. This work is an incredible memorial to his life, his writings, and his connection to people, the land, and to God. I was often so moved and kept hitting the back arrow to hear certain parts again and again. I have already ordered the hard cover and I will revisit this often. Just finished it and I can still feel that feeling I get in my chest when my heart has converged with someone else’s and been deeply touched.

True magic

A beautiful legacy and the narration is exquisite. I’ve thoroughly emptied it.
I will be listening multiple times

Exactly the right book at exactly the right time.

This book offers a rare alchemy of insights from across time and distance from many great voyagers of thought and spirit. If life has lulled you into the mundane and meaningless, here is a reminder of the wonder and depth of your own existence.
