Colors are the wounds of light

In the Prologue, the author describes this book as "a phenomenology of friendship in a lyrical-speculative form." That is exactly what it is. It is one of the most compelling and lyrical works that I have read. It describes the "soul-friend" but more significantly it actually suggested the possibility of me becoming my own soul's friend. It is a powerful book, weaving Celtic mystical thought with a very accessible form of approaching self and soul -- all done in a rich, poetic language. It reads very well and John O'Donohue's erudition, poetic language and abiding compassion radiate every page.

This book gave me strength and deep insight at a time when I was searching for both of these. I greatly appreciate this book's contribution to my own understanding of self and highly recommend it to you if, like me, you recognize that you are on a spiritual journey.

Echoes in clay ...

To all questions, there are answers...My 'personal' journey started a few years ago by reading Johnathan Livingstone Seagull by Richard Bach - Jonathan set me off on a flight of freedom. That book opened doors in my mind which led me to the shelves of many bookshops. It has been a somewhat 'pain to pleasure' journey leading me to some incredible experiences and coincidences. 'Knowing' now they were not coincidences, they all had meaning. My journey brought me to 'Mother Ireland' where (although at the time I did not know why) I felt like I was HOME (in the spiritual sense). I have learned not just to look but to 'see', not just to listen but to 'hear'. Many times I felt bereft, confused and lonely. I battled with logic trying to make sense of it all. Ego is the hardest battle. Had I lost the plot as some friends said. No - I listened to my heart. I have read many many books that have helped and inspired me along the journey. Then then this book came to me from a friend with the inscription "With thanks for the gift of your uplifting friendship". I thank my friend for the gift of this beautiful book and the Author, John O'Donohue for sharing his gift in writing about the most uplifting friend you will ever find - ANAM CARA.

I am half way through this book as I write. It is giving me clarity - I am touched, I understand now why I listened to my heart - Echoes in clay. . .

The Clay of My Clay

I was truly caught up in the beautiful way this book was written. It is very lyrical, gentle, and poetic. If ever you want to believe in a passionate existence where there are connections made with a "soul friend," this is the book to read. It is not a dry dusty tomb of a book. It's like warm sun on a spring day.

A simple but powerful book

This book has a wealth of wisdom. If man held these beliefs, the world would be a much better place.
