Letter to Anam-charaid: Rhythm
Dear Anam-charaid,
to voyage
is to abandon yourself
to each unknown wave,
to lean into the breast of Crìost
till the bower spray of broken waves
drips off your brow,
and there you listen
to the beating wings
of An Gèadh Fiadhaich.
Scots-Gaelic
Anam-charaid (Anamchara - Irish): Soul friend.Anam-charaid
An Gèadh Fiadhaich: “The Wild Goose,” the poetic name for the Holy Spirit - untamed by humanity.
