Beauty O'Donohue's premise is urgent and sweeping: "Politics, religion, and economics and the institutions of family and community all have become abruptly unsure. At first, it sounds naive to suggest that now might be the time to awaken and invoke beauty. Yet this is exactly the claim he explores." The author finds beauty in music, color and movement, as well as some less likely locations—imperfection and death. |

Eternal Echoes A soaring meditation on the art of living. In most people, a hunger for belonging is frustrated by our high-pressured, isolating consumerist culture. O'Donohue invites readers to make their lives a pilgrimage of discovery. This involves freeing oneself from the mental prisons of guilt, rigid belief and self-punishment; learning to embrace individuality; and coming to terms with the loss, absence or death of loved ones. |

Anam Cara O’Donohue speaks to the deepest calling of our soul: the longing to belong. 'Belonging is a circle that embraces everything; if we reject it, we damage our nature. The word 'belonging' holds together the two fundamental aspects of life: Being and Longing, the longing of our Being and the being of our Longing.' Every passage is a delight for the senses, as O’Donohue shares his lilting poetic language and Celtic imagery. |
