Episode Synopsis

Today's episode is about friendship, a spiritual practice that we sometimes neglect to our detriment. Friendship makes us human. It involves giving and receiving, mutual trust, and is crucial to our well-being. In this podcast, we touch on some wisdom on friendship from Jesus, Aristotle, Dana Robert and John O'Donohue. Here's the "Friendship Blessing" by O'Donohue that I read at the end of the podcast, from his book, "Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom.""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 this change you. May it transfigure that which is negative, distant, or cold in you. May you be brought in to the 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. May you always be in the gentle nest of belonging with your anam ċara.” Feedback? I'd love to hear from you at [email protected]. Thanks for listening, friends. You are loved and never alone!
