John O'Donohue's Anam Cara
from Spiritual Living Podcast Archive Hosted by Rev. Patrick Cameron
Rev. Patrick shares an excellent affirmative prayer: If it is right, make it easy. If it is wrong, make it obvious. As we learn things intellectually and speak to Source, we must open up to the deeper Love, and learn to love ourselves. The beautiful and profound wisdom of John O'Donohue's book Anam Cara---which means "soul friend"---reminds us of deep truths about love. Excerpts from Anam Cara: "You can never love another person unless you are equally involved in the beautiful but difficult work of learning to love yourself." "When love awakens in your life in the night of your heart, it is like the dawn breaking within you. Where before there was anonymity, now there is intimacy. Where before there was fear, now there is courage. Where before in your life there was awkwardness, now there is a rhythm and grace. Where before you used to be jagged, now you are elegant and in rhythm with yourself. When love awakens in your life, it is like a rebirth, a new beginning."
