Eternal Echoes: Celtic Reflections on Our Yearning to Belong

“A soaring, eloquent meditation on the art of living . . . a treasury for readers of all faiths . . . his book itself is a profound, healing prayer.” —Publishers Weekly

There is a divine restlessness in the human heart, our eternal echo of longing that lives deep within us and never lets us settle for what we have or where we are. In this exquisitely crafted and inspirational book, John O’Donohue, author of the bestseller Anam Cara, explores the most basic of human desires—the desire to belong, a desire that constantly draws us toward new possibilities of self-discovery, friendship, and creativity.

In these pages, you will encounter a wealth of provocative and comforting thoughts . . . • Discovery Is the Nature of the Soul • Home as the Cradle of Destiny • Innocence Keeps Mystery Playful • Functionalism Kills Presence • The Addiction of Distraction • The Cage of Frightened Identity • The Haunted Room in the Mind • The Shelter of Continuity • Our Secret Kinship with the Darkness • Suffering’s Slow Teachings • Prayers: A Clearance in the Thicket of Thought • Absence and Presence Are Sisters • Brittle Language Numbs Longing

“[O’Donohue’s books] fairly plead with humankind to escape our contemporary dehumanizing traps and, in so doing, return to a spiritual heritage that includes intimacy, poetry, connectedness and compassion.” —Boulder Planet
