Voice: Letter to Anam-charaid
Dear Anam-charaid,
Solas Chrìost
a treasure to share not hide.
The thisness of one soul
is not the same for another,
and so you are perplexed.
You wrestle in prayer
on how to reach
the thisness of another.
So abandoned be
ideology’s presumption,
fear’s censure. Speculation
too must flee. To reach another,
an enigmatic voyage dawns
with An Geadh Fiadhaich.

An Gèadh Fiadhaich: “The Wild Goose,” the poetic name for the Holy Spirit - untamed by humanity.
Solas Chrìost: Christ’s light.
