Ocean’s Song
Ocean’s Song explores the writings of a pilgrim voyaging over inner-seas in communion with An Gèadh Faidhaich. The poetic writings are like excerpts from a sailboat’s log brought together to form a liturgy exploring three voyages: First Voyage, Long-haul Voyage and Last-Voyage. Prayerfully read, following the ancient contemplative way of Lectio Divina: Read, reflect, respond and be still, allow the peace of Spiorad Naomh to upwell within amidst the calm and the storm.
May you be blessed as you enter into the flow of Ocean’s Song for the Celtic Voyager and follow An Gèadh Faidhaich.
