Oh Bethany I loved this! Listening for that voice that won’t shout to be heard ♥️ and Jan Richardson is one of my favourites. I’ve read several books these last few years about the deep mysticism and history of Ireland and your voice is adding to my fascination!
I love anything by Padraig O Tuama. Recently I enjoyed A Ghost in the Throat by Doireann ni Ghriofa, and Thin Places by Kerri ni Dochartaigh. Everything Claire Keegan. Ireland seems full of beautiful writers ♥️
I love the whisper of divinity. Hopkins wrote: ‘The world is charged with the grandeur of God.’ You’re a pioneer, Bethany, leading the way into the old places. Beautiful post. Satisfying swim! 💦
It's not a waiting room indeed, the pulse quickens with courage. The forties are still archetypal summer for a woman. You are always the map. Such an inspiring post. Grateful x
Thank you for this! I was struck by what you say about not being given a map. I for a while have been struck by not finding women who are like me to use as ‘models’. Perhaps then it is about creating a map for others based on what we are not seeing…

Thank you, Emily. That’s definitely a fascination we share. I’d love to know what books you E enjoyed. X

‘You are always the map’ - I have used this as a mantra since I read it here. Thank you for this beautiful phrase!
