Good Friends

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

                                                John O’Donohue, Anam Cara, p. 36

I am a radical

Introvert

For some reason

I never did learn

How to connect well with others

And so I have few friends

I am mostly

Alone

Even when in the midst of many

And I am rarely a friend to myself

(darn negative self talk)

Ah to rest in Sacred love

And find in that warmth and love, and forgiveness

A resting place

And in that place

A capacity

To be

connected
