“In this twenty-fifth anniversary edition, you will find John a “soul friend” on your own journey through life, offering support and solace, clarity, and consciousness—expanding narratives that invite you to experience relationships with people, nature, and even your inner world in new ways that nurture well-being and resilience in these challenging times.” —Daniel J. Siegel, MD, Neuropsychiatrist and New York Times Bestselling Author
A special twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the classic work of Celtic spirituality and mysticism by beloved poet and philosopher, John O'Donohue, with a new introduction by the President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, an afterword by the late author’s brother, Pat O'Donohue, and insightful material from O'Donohue's circle of close friends.
In this revered classic, John O’Donohue excavates themes of friendship, belonging, solitude, creativity and the imagination, among many others. Widely recognized for bringing Celtic spirituality into modern dialogue, his unique insights from the ancient world speak with urgency for our need to rediscover the thresholds of the soul.
With lyrical wisdom and fluency, O'Donohue encourages pathways of discovery to come home to the natural rhythm in ourselves in sacred connection with one another and the landscapes we inhabit. This timeless collection nourishes the heart and elevates the spirit. It is "a book to read and reread forever.” (Irish Times)
When St. Patrick first came to Ireland in the 5th century AD, he encountered the Celtic people-with their flourishing spiritual tradition, already thousands of years old. Where the Christians worshipped one God, the Celts had many-and in fact, found divinity all around them: in the rivers and hills, the sea and sky, and in every kind of animal. The Celtic reverence for the spirit in all things, and their celebrations of the continuous mysteries of everyday existence, survive to this day-a vibrant spiritual legacy unique in the Western world. a In Anam Cara, Irish poet, priest, and scholar John O'Donohue blends philosophy, instruction, and spiritual insight, taking you inside this remarkable spiritual synthesis. O'Donohue shares an intuitive approach to spirituality that takes you beyond spiritual -programs' to a place where your heart can be truly nourished and healed. You will learn authentic Irish prayers and blessings; how to discover your individual nature; awakening the sense as -thresholds of the spirit; understanding the -secret divinity in your relationships; how the Irish -hospitality towards death can help you become more compassionate, generous, and fearless; and much more. Tracing the cycles of life and nature, this insightful work draws from the holy waters of Ireland's spiritual heritage-from the Celts and their Druid shamans, the imbas (inspirational sagas) of the wandering bards, and the sacred fountainhead of the Christian monasteries.
