Individuality

Quoting John O'Donohue's Anam Cara pg. 124: "The shape of each soul is different. There is a secret destiny for each person."

The earliest memory I have of talk about individuality, was in high school, about 10th grade (circa 1957) I think, the boys I liked were always talking about it. That and live fast, love hard, and die young. I don't know how the two are connected, but in my mind they are. Mr. O'Donohue goes on to say: "We need to return to the solitude within to find again the dream that lies at the heart of the soul." Meditation is implied and right brain vs. left, or at least a balance.

"We need to feel the dream with the wonder of a child approaching ...discovery. When we rediscover our childlike nature, we enter into a world of gentle possibility. ...The false burdens fall away. We come into rhythm with ourselves."
