this conversation is something that I will return, over and over again

Every word from his mouth drips like nectar from a flower. What Holy Beautiful Wisdom!

How did I miss this beautiful encounter of wisdom? This has to be what we all move towards in our combative societies. This interview deserves millions of followers so we can begin to move the needle towards virtue in our world. Thank you

This is Brilliance having a chin-wag. Love this dance around Beauty.

Beauty as nourishment. Brilliant.

This is such a beautiful interview! John O’Donahue’s works are things I am glad to have encountered in this lifetime. Barry, your sensitive interview has created a space so this beautiful conversation can shine. God bless you! ❤

I met John many years ago when he gave a talk at Hawkstone Hall in England. So profound… a delight for the soul. I am sad he died, but his passing this world has left us with so much to journey with. God bless his beautiful soul.❤😊

I’m so thrilled to discover this interview with someone whose books I continue to read and re-read! What a gift this is to hear him in conversation. I use as a mantra an idea I got from reading this book Beauty, that beauty leads to courage and courage leads to hope. I love that he says to you, “The intention of the aesthetic, and the spiritual and the creative is to help us come into that sanctuary as frequently as we can. And everyone has it. That’s the magic of it.”

Thank you for posting this, John O'Donohue had one of the most beautiful minds I have ever heard. He is sorely missed 💗🥺

John's words and John's words on BEAUTY has captured ever since I've heard about him from a friend. I thoroughly enjoyed this chat. Thank you so much 🍁🙏

I know you loved and love John O'Donohue dearly. Thank you for posting this again! ❤🦋❤

oh my god!! SUCH A GEM!! I've heard the audio of this episode, but never got to see saw the video. so THANK YOU for posting this!! i absolutely adore John O'Donohue and i am always trying to find footage (which isn't easy). i am SO happy this exists!! it totally made my day! thanks again!! ❤✨

This is a wonderful interview. Your reverence for the man and his work very evident. John's is a timeless wisdom beautifully conveyed.

I can NEVER EVER get through “I am here Lord” I cry like a deep cry very emotional since as long as I can remember even as a very young girl sitting in church before I really understood my faith I knew what I felt listening to that hymn💖🙏🏻

14:02 (he speaks about reverence) “ I think there is a huge arrogance in contemporary culture. I think there is a kind of belief that we can blunder into and beyond any frontier with no preparation, no permission and no recognition of what might await us. I think that one of the things that we have lost in modern life is the reverence of approach because some of the most secret things are the most sacred things. And if you don’t approach with reverence, it will decide not to approach you. I think reverence is a profound sense of respect, expectation and preparation. And I think that if you have that kind of attitude, you’ll be amazed at what will turn up at the door of your life.”

Wow! Thank you! Shalom! 🕊️

He speaks as if reading from a perfected script. It's amazing.

This was beautiful. Thank you again Barry, I do enjoy your podcasts.

I pray to John. He now knows my story because I'm sure he's in heaven. May the Lord have mercy on his gorgeous soul.

Wow! Such an amazing interview once again. I read this book when I first saw this interview but will be definitely rereading the book, Beauty. Thanks again Barry. ❤️❤️❤️

What an amazing conversation and what an amazing program. I didn't know it existed until I stumbled onto it here. Please post more of these programs. We need them desperately.

💜HAPPY✝️MOTHERS💜 DAY ✝️💐 💐 💐

Thank you so much!!!!!

I am going to John for the words regarding my exhibition of Paintings.

Miles Davis once spoke of the silence between the notes as essential!

Just found you -- wonderful. I will be following you.

Profound!

Barry, Barry....hush up! and let John flow...sheesh

miss you on pbs

Wonderful. Gone too soon (for those still here)

When was this recorded? Just curious. I still feel his loss. Even after all these years...

This is so beautiful! Do you know where I can find the Bill Stafford quote?

Wanted to hear John more. Interviewer talked so fast that it took away ‘ the beauty’. Americans can do that 😢

Lovely interview. What year is this interview from?

My goodness

2 gentlemen

amazing except for the reagan funeral :)

Barry why in the world didn’t you let John read his poetry? What a missed opportunity. 🙁

This is fabulous, both people are wonderful, I am wondering if you have unedited footage that you would consider sharing also? Go raibh míle maith agat.
