I know I have posted about this book before -- Anam Cara -- A book of Celtic Wisdom -- by John O'Donohue. A little while ago Ient my copy of this to someone at work. And while I was poking around Amazon the other day, I went and ordered myself another copy. I got a copy for 99cents plus shipping...who can beat that??? Anyway, when I got home from work today, my copy had arrived. It being St Paddies day and all, I thought maybe I should spend a few minutes with it! So, I bundled up and grabbed my book and sat on the deck, trying to get just a SMIDGE of vitamin D, and when I opened the book, this is what I saw.......
A Blessing of Solitude
May you recognise in your life the presence, power, and light of your soul.
May you realize that you are never alone, that your soul in its brightness and belonging, connects you intimately with the rythm of the universe.
May you have respect for your own individuality, and difference.
May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique, that you have a special destiny here, that behind the facade of your life there is something beautiful, good, and eternal happening.
May you learn to see yourself with the same delight , pride, and expectation with which God sees you in every moment.
Light and Love
Sister Bridget
