“One of the greatest conflicts in life is the conflict between the ego and the soul. The ego is threatened, competitive, and stressed, whereas the soul is drawn more toward surprise, spontaneity, the new and the fresh. Real soul has humor, irony, and no obsessive self-seriousness. It avoids what is weary, worn, or repetitive. The image of the well breaking out of the hard, crusted ground is an illuminating image for the freshness that can suddenly dawn within the heart that remains open to experience.”
― John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
“In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have. One remembers here Dante’s notion that the secret rhythm of the universe is the rhythm of love, which moves the stars and the planets. Love is the source, center, and destiny of experience.”
― John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
“Love is also a force of light and nurture that liberates you to inhabit to the full your own difference. There should be no imitation of each other; no need to be defensive or protective in each other’s presence. Love should encourage and free you fully into your full potential.”
― John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
“To be holy is to be home, to be able to rest in the house of belonging that we call the soul.”
― John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
