For Friendship

May you be blessed with good friends,

and learn to be a good friend to yourself,

journeying to that place in your soul where

there is love, warmth and feeling.

May this change you.

May it transfigure what is negative, distant

or cold within your heart.

May you be brought in to real passion, kindness

and belonging.

May you treasure your friends.

May you be good to them, be there for them

And receiving all the challenges, truth and light you need.

May you never be isolated but know the embrace

of your Anam Cara.
