Anam Cara
May you be blessed with good friends.
May you learn to be a good friend to yourself.
May you be able to journey to that place in your 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 it be brought in to 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 the journey.
May you never be isolated; but may you always be in the gentle nest
of belonging with your anam cara.
