Review:
John O'Donohue (Anam Cara), a Celtic poet, scholar and philosopher with an Irish brogue, speaks to the deepest calling of our soul: the longing to belong. "To be human is to belong", he explains. "Belonging is a circle that embraces everything; if we reject it, we damage our nature. The word 'belonging' holds together the two fundamental aspects of life: Being and Longing, the longing of our Being and the being of our Longing". Although this may sound like an elaborate Celtic circle knot, O'Donohue has nevertheless woven a solid and easy-to-grasp book that speaks to the soul's constant yearning. Every passage is a delight for the senses, as O'Donohue shares his lilting poetic language, his Celtic imagery and stories and his fireside-chat wisdom. This is a broad-reaching yet highly focused book that dares to explore the realm of legitimate angels, the meaning of suffering and, most poignantly, how life on earth may never quench the soul's thirst for belonging. --Gail Hudson
Review:
"[O'Donohue's books] fairly plead with humankind to escape our contemporary dehumanizing traps and, in so doing, return to a spiritual heritage that includes intimacy, poetry, connectedness and compassion". -- Boulder Planet
