Familiarity as Facade / John O’Donohue [SSL161]

Today, I’m reading an excerpt from John O’Donohue’s gorgeous, instant classic from 1997, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom. The eternal is nearer to us than anything; just as the most familiar can be, or become, the most unknown. Let us pierce the facade of the familiar in order that we don’t grow deadened.
