“True friends will hear everything you say.” said Bear. “Even what you try to hide in silence.”
“They’ll know the real me,” said Rabbit, “...all of my secrets.”
“Yes.” said Bear. “And they will love you even still.”

Anam Ċara
Your light, it glows
and within it, I am safe
enough to be silent
...revealing secrets I don't speak
This is my story.
And you love me, even still
As I love you
Across time
The stars
face to face
Your light, it guides me
it keeps me warm
& when I'm with you
Anam Ċara
I am
home
❤🐇🐻
Anam Cara... translated from Gaelic means Soul Friend.
An anam cara can be anyone in your life who knows you inside out and loves you just the same (and you provide the same for them). Your love and friendship is not bound by time nor space. ❤
I wish everyone could have an anam cara but... if you don't, I offer Rabbit & Bear.
