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.

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

Uniquely Beautiful

I’m rating, not reviewing. But Audible has something else in mind. The ideas, words, and sentiments in this book are uniquely beautiful.

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.
