In his book Anam Cara, author John O'Donohue writes of love and friendship. In the old Celtic church, i.e. Celtic spirituality/paganism, he tells us of one who acted as "teacher, companion, or spiritual guide. Anam, the Gaelic word for soul and cara, friend.
"Friendship is the nature of God," O'Donohue writes. "The Christian concept of God as Trinity is the most sublime articulation of otherness and intimacy, an eternal interflow of friendship."
I would love to quote the entire book but I must ask you to read it for yourself. Do it in 2010 when all is quiet within and without.
