Eternal Echoes: Celtic Reflections on Our Yearning to Belong

In this lyrical and provocative work, an acclaimed poet and scholar offers a Celtic exploration of the longing within us that leads to creativity and desperation--and embraces suffering as well as celebration.

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.

Review:

[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
