The writings of James Kavanaugh were a regular fixture in bookshops around North America until life for all of us seemed to move in a very different direction. Of course this change has little to do with people, politics, business or religion except that recently, all of these individual elements are put to us in mutually exclusive, competing islands of thought. We are lead to believe that an integrated approach to life and thought is no longer allowed. The institutions we have allowed to be built in our names and in the name of progress, only rise up at the expense of our collective human characteristics and show us how very far we have drifted from real values.
We hope you will take a fresh look at the words Jim wrote so many years ago. Come and see how these thoughts are even more important for our world today. Allow these thoughts to once again challenge and assist us look at life with a gentleness and renewed passion so we can once again look at one another as friends and ask as Jim did in "Will you be my friend?" :
- ...A
friend
-
Who far beyond the feebleness of any vow or tie
- Will touch the secret place where I am really I,
- To know the pain of lips that plead and eyes that weep,
-
Who will not run away when you find me in the street
-
Alone and lying mangled by my quota of defeats
-
But will stop and stay to tell me of another day
-
When I was beautiful.
-
Will you be my friend?
-
There are so many reasons why you never should ...
