In this revered classic, the late poet, philosopher, and scholar John O'Donohue helps us discover the divine within us as he guides us on a journey to the sacred space where the eternal meets the soul. Anam Cara, Gaelic for soul friend, is a timeless collection of ancient Celtic wisdom, poetry, stories, and blessings that offer profound insights on the universal themes of friendship, solitude, love, and death as:
Light is generous
The human heart is never completely born
Love as ancient recognition
The body is the angel of the soul
Solitude is luminous
Beauty likes neglected places
The passionate heart never ages
To be natural is to be holy
Silence is the sister of the divine
Death as an invitation to freedom
Allowing us to experience the grace of Celtic benediction, Anam Cara nourishes the heart and elevates the spirit.
