"Your beloved and your friends were once strangers.
Somehow at a particular time,
they came from the distance toward your life.
Their arrival seemed so accidental and contingent.
Now your life is unimaginable without them. Similarly,
your identity and vision are composed
of a certain constellation of ideas and feelings
that surfaced from the depths
of the distance within you.
To lose these now would be to lose yourself."


John O'Donohue, Anam Cara
