AN OLD CELTIC SAYING(ANAM CARA)
AT THE HEART OF CELTIC SOCIETY IS THE NOTION OF RELATIONSHIP EMBODIED IN THE GAELIC PHRASE ANAM CARA. ANAM IS AN IRISH WORD FOR SOUL, AND CARA MEANS FRIEND. ANAM CARA, MEANS A SOUL FRIEND. CELTIC TRADITION TEACHES THAT THE HUMAN SOUL HOVERS AROUND THE BODY LIKE A VIBRANT HALO; ANAM CARA IS WHAT RESULTS WHEN TWO SOULS FLOW TOGETHER. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE POTENTIAL FOR SUCH A RELATIONSHIP EXISTS BEFORE TIME AND IS AROUSED WHEN KINDRED SPIRITS FIND EACH OTHER. ONCE THIS FRIENDSHIP IS AWAKENED BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE, IT CANNOT BE BROKEN BY TIME OR SPACE. AN ANAM CARA ACCEPTS YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE AND, IN DOING SO, HELPS YOU GIVE BIRTH TO YOUR OWN SOUL.

This song “Just dropped in†has been playing in my head for a while now. It’s an inspired piece really.
(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)I woke up this mornin’ with the sundown shinin’ in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin’ out as I was a-crawlin’ in
I got up so tight I couldn’t unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)Someone painted “April Fool†in big black letters on a “Dead End†sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was inI said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was inYeah yeah oh-yeah
