A Friendship Blessing
May you always be blessed wih Good Friends. May you learn to be a Good Friend yourself. May You be able to Journey to that place in yourself/Soul where there is Great Love, warmth, feeling and forgiveness...May this change you. May it Transfigure that which is negative, distant, or cold in You. May you be brought into the Real Passion, Kinship and Affinity of belonging. May you treasure Your Friends. May You be good to Them and may You be there for Them.
May They bring You all the blessings, challenges, truth and light that you need for Your Journey.
May You never be Isolated.
May You always be in the Gentle Nest of Belonging with Your Anam Cara.
Anam Cara by John O'Donnohue/Book of Celtic Wisdom
The Meaning of Anam Cara Your Anam Cara always accepts you as you truly are, holding you in beauty and light. In order to appreciate this relationship, you must first recognize your own inner light and beauty. This is not always easy to do. The Celts believed that forming an Anam Cara friendship would help you to awaken your awareness of your own nature and experience the joys of others.

I absolutely love John O'Donohue - Anam Cara is a book on my list to purchase, it touched me so greatly. And his book, To Bless the Space Between Us, is wonderful too.
He did a great interview with Krista Tippet on NPR's "Being" (also used to be Speaking of Faith) - it's a must listen to show.
Thank you for bringing this here to ASAH. :hug: :hug: :hug:

8. this is great, isn't it? |

I love the depth of friendship, and this takes it so much deeper.
The line that says: May you be a good friend yourself
In my narcissism I kept reading that May you be a good friend to yourself! :rofl:
