108 Faces of Buddha

Namaste to you, my Friends and Family ...  I was recently introduced to the writings of John O'Donohue, the poet, mystic, and Celtic spirituality virtuoso.  I read his book Anam Cara which means soul friend in Gaelic.   His beautiful words describe the energy connection that we have with our friends and family.

John O'Donohue (1956-2008)

Here are some lines from this book where he tells us of how our friends help in our personal growth:

"A friend is a true mirror in which we begin 

to get some little glimpse of who we are and 

the immensity that we carry - and that 

sometimes haunts us. Friendship is the shelter;

and it's not a complacent shelter but a shelter 

that settles some primal restlessness down 

within us. It liberates us to get into the dance 

of our own life." 

I have so much gratitude for the support and love that I have received from my friends and family during these challenging times.

                                          Thank you!
