The late poet, philosopher, and scholar John O'Donohue  guides the reader to discover the divine within 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.
