Spiritual Friendship
The Divine has loved me as mother, as father, and as friend, behind all friends.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Friendship… is pure gift. It is more than practical help and support. It is mutual enjoyment. It implies this letting go, this freedom to let go.
Thomas Merton
O God within my breast
Almighty ever-present Deity
Life, that in me hast rest,
As I Undying Life, have power in Thee
Emily Brontë
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.
C. S. Lewis
The one you love, your anam cara, your soul friend, is the truest mirror to reflect your soul.
John O’Donohue
