I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

Celtic Spirituality

"Celtic Spirituality and the ancient Irish faith never forced anyone.  Never drove people through the tracks of programs with the intention of reaching the cold destination of perfection.   It never tried to unriddle the mind of it's gracious contradictions.   And it never tried to make the world safe or certain for people.   It constantly called people back to the source of their own originality."     John O' Donahue

Individuality

"The Celts recognize that the shape of each soul is different; the spiritual clothing one person wears can never fit the soul of another.   Individuality is the only gateway to spiritual potential and blessing."  John O' Donahue

Celtic Mind

The Celtic mind was never drawn to the single line; it avoided ways of seeing and being that seek the satisfaction in certainty.   The Celtic Mind had a wonderful respect for the mystery of the circle and the Spiral."  John O' Donahue
