Description

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.
