NEW YEAR GREETINGS

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 it transfigure that which is negative, distant or cold in you.
May you be brought in to 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 your journey.
May you never be isolated;
But may you always be in the gentle nest of belonging
with your anam cara, your soul friend.
(from Anam Cara by John Donoghue)
