First Voyage:
Authentic Freedom in Crìost
First Voyage is the first of three liturgies in the composition Ocean’s Song.
Ocean’s Song tells of a pilgrim voyaging over inner-seas in communion with An Gèadh Faidhaich. It is a composition of three voyages as liturgy: First Voyage, Long-haul Voyage and Last-Voyage. Each a mosaic of poems selected from a pilgrim’s sailboat log.
Ocean's Song is the shift in undercurrents and counter currents experienced by the pilgrim voyager. The underlying song of the voyage can only be sensed when the composition is experienced as liturgy, never as individual poems.
Your invited to read it here: Ocean’s Song
Prayerfully and gradually read each voyage as a whole in a quite place if you can. Experience the depths of Ocean’s Song following the ancient contemplative way of Lectio Divina: Prayerfully read the liturgy, reflect, be still in the presence of Crìost.
Scot’s Gaelic
An Gèadh Fiadhaich: "The Wild Goose,” the poetic name for the Holy Spirit - untamed by humanity.
Crìost: Christ
