Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I found this while looking through my k file folder earlier. I don't know if it is something someone here posted before or if I found it on the net somewhere/sometime. It goes along with some of our postings lately. A Prayer of Blessing May you awaken to the mystery of being here and enter the quiet immensity of your own presence. May you have joy and peace in the temple of your senses. May you receive great encouragement when new frontiers beckon. May you respond to the call of your gift and find the courage to follow its path. May the flame of anger free you from falsity. May warmth of heart keep your presence aflame and may anxiety never linger about you. May your outer dignity mirror an inner dignity of soul. May you take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek no attention. May you be consoled in the secret symmetry of your soul. May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder. ~ John O'Donohue ~ Author of Anam Cara I checked out John O'Donohue and found an interview of his on compassion, tranformation and also a bit on the void, which gave me another angle of what the void is all about. I feel it is a worthwhile read. http://www.personaltransformation.com/ODonohue.html Blessings & love, linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Dear Linda, I followed the link and I am now going to read John O Donohue again so thank you soooo much. You might know this anyway but in case not, ... his book " Anam Cara " is from Irish or Gaelic language... the word Anam means Soul and the word Cara means friend, so Anam Cara is Soul Friend. " The Anam cara was a person to whom you could reveal the hidden intimacies of your life. This friendship was an act of recognition and belonging. When you had an anam cara, your friendship cut across all convention and category. You were joined in an ancient and eternal way with the friend of your soul. " Love Julia. ________________________________ Linda <crazycats711 Saturday, June 20, 2009 11:09:20 PM I found this prayer blessing I found this while looking through my k file folder earlier.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Thanks Julia, I was wondering what those words meant. , Julia Ahern <jajahern wrote: > " The Anam cara was a person to whom you could reveal the hidden intimacies of your life.
