SURMISE ON ST. BRIGID'S DAY

There's a lot of fascinating but unfounded myth surrounding St. Brigid that my own spiritual sensitivities dismissed but as her day lands during 4 Corners Festival this year and our Knitting Event made St. Brigid's crosses I surmise a truth I found in the myth...

 

In a myth

That needs not be true

To shine truth

We gather

Around St. Brigid’s hearth

Inside mercy's threshold

The peat 

Smoky waft of wild outdoors 

Smoored through the night

Fanned back into flame at dawn

Perpetual light and life

That darkness and death has never snuffed out
