"It is strange to be here. The mystery never leaves you alone. Behind your image, below your words, above your thoughts, the silence of another world waits. A world lives within you."
John O'Donohue Anam Cara
If you have never read this book, you must find it and read it; it will open your heart, allow your spirit to blossom, alter your thinking on life and death.
For the Celts of ancient Ireland, the barrier between this world and the next was not a wall, the way it is in Western culture. Rather it was a fog - a mist, through which they could pass easily and often. The brilliance of O'Donohue's book is that he lets us see just how available that passage still is for us, even in our harried and technologically overwhelmed world.
