Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom | John O'Donohue

April‘s #DoubleSpin is clear—and is also my #44 pick for #50x50. For my #BookSpin, I get to pick a book published in the 1950s—70s for #192025. Above are the three I‘m thinking about… any recommendations?

Suet624 Yay for Anam Cara. I‘ve only read A Separate Peace (as a teenager) out of the three and I liked it. (edited) 4w

TheBookHippie I like them all 👀🤫🙃 4w

BarbaraJean @Suet624 I'm really looking forward to Anam Cara. It's been on my list for so long and it's nice to have the “assignment“ to read it! @TheBookHippie Good news is I'll be reading them all at some point before the end of the year!! 4w

TheBookHippie @BarbaraJean literal DECADES since my reading of them 😂 4w

TheAromaofBooks Oh Black Sheep is one of my favorite Heyer romances!! 4w

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Oh, that‘s good to know! I‘ve been leaning toward Black Sheep anyway because I‘m pretty sure that will be a nice escapist read—the other two, not so much 😆 4w

Benedictus: A Book Of Blessings - an inspiring and comforting and deeply touching collection of blessings for every moment in life from international bestselling author John O�Donohue | John O'Donohue

For those of you who are retired or getting close to retiring I hope you can take some Inspiration from John O‘Donohue. I love everything about this blessing, with every line carrying a potent offering.

This book is special to me not only because of the brilliance of this Irishman but because I purchased this collection while traveling in Ireland.

Jeg I wish time would slow but I don't know about you Sue but for me it has speeded up. 6mo

Suet624 @Jeg I‘ve worked for years under a great deal of stress and a fast pace. So I‘ve had to come to terms with the fact that I don‘t have to rush, that I can read for hours in a chair or go for long walks. I still see kids and grandkids and have a variety of obligations but it all feels much slower. I have to remind myself that this a good thing. That I can explore other things I didn‘t have time for before. And yet, I know what you mean. 🔽 6mo

Suet624 Days feel quicker and sometimes I can‘t keep up. What do you find is making time speed up? (edited) 6mo

Jeg My dad always said the older he got the faster time went . So I‘m thinking maybe just getting older is what makes it seem to be going faster. 6mo

Suet624 @Jeg A spiritual person once said that the speed of our life was like an audio tape. As the right side of the tape was getting closer to the end the wheel was moving very quickly. So that would support your feeling life was speeding up. 😊. (Don‘t know if that makes sense the way I wrote it, but…) (edited) 6mo

Mollyanna I am six months from retirement and this was perfect! Thank you for sharing. 6mo

Suet624 @Mollyanna it‘s a roller coaster ride, one of delight and sometimes confusion about your worth and what to do next. At least it was for me. One that you‘ll eventually find your way through. This blessing really helps to provide some comfort and direction. Stay in touch and let me know how it‘s going once you embark on that journey. 6mo

Mollyanna That is helpful to hear. I have had mixed emotions as it gets nearer, from excitement to straight up fear to hope to everything. I will definitely keep this blessing in my back pocket for reassurance 😊. 6mo

Suet624 @Mollyanna best wishes to you. 💕💕 6mo

Mollyanna Thank you! 💕 6mo

kspenmoll I love his work. 🧡 6mo

Suet624 @kspenmoll I was depressed for ages when he died. 6mo

Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom | John O'Donohue

All through Celtic poetry you find the colour, power, and intensity of nature.
How beautifully it recognizes the wind, the flowers, the breaking of the waves on the land. Celtic spirituality hallows the moon and adores the life force of the sun.
