  • One gift turns into many

    My friend brought me a copy of Anam Cara when she visited me from Ireland. Since then I have given multi copies as gifts. It is an amazing book full of wisdom, beauty and the music of words. I do not read it cover to cover. Instead, I open it at random and always fine something that speaks to me. It is spiritual but does not push doctrine. It may not be for everyone but for some it will be a favorite.
