Finding God in the ordinary

Been reading John O’Donahue.
Anam Carma: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
Anam is the Gaelic word for soul;
cara is the word for friend.
Anam cara = soul friend

. . . We rest in the night. The dawn is a refreshing time, a time of possibility and promise. . . Each day, the dawn unveils the mystery of this universe.

Dawn is the ultimate surprise; it awakens us to the immense “thereness” of nature.

Each day is a journey. We come out of the night into the day. All creativity awakens at this primal threshold where light and darkness test and bless each other. You only discover balance in your life when learn to trust the flow of this ancient rhythm.
