pickI‘ve loved John O‘Donohue‘s writing in the past. His book of blessings (To Bless the Space Between Us) always has something rich and meaningful to offer, and I‘ve often come across quotations from O‘Donohue‘s work that are exactly what I need when they cross my path. So I had high expectations for this one, having had it on my TBR for some time.
O‘Donohue offers an exploration of Celtic spirituality as he examines friendship, the senses, ⤵️
Recent acquisition for our personal library.

“The divine has such passionate creativity and instinct for the fully inhabited life. If you allow yourself to be the person that you are, then everything will come into rhythm. If you live the life you love, you will receive shelter and blessings. Sometimes the great famine of blessing in and around us derives from the fact that we are not living the life we love, rather we are living the life that is expected of us.”

You see we like our illusions, we like having enemies, and we are quite accustomed to our wars and prejudices, as much as we insist the contrary. They make us feel morally superior, even heroic.
pickI read Richard Rohr a lot, but he just has a refreshing insight into many things that government, institution, religion and society have so poorly mishandled.
The reality is that this book is an essential read for our current day, but it is not filled with the whimsical romanticisms that pull our minds away into La La Land, it is a very rare and eye-opening look of honesty at the world and at the self.
pickAndy Andrews knows how to break down truth and human potential in a way that really hits home. Through smooth, powerful storytelling, he delivers deep messages in a way that‘s easy to vibe with. This book keeps it real, simple, yet full of meaning and leaves you feeling hopeful and inspired.
