Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem—it's very powerful. I didn't know that about Sif! We've been painting the rowan berries in our community sessions. I find them a great way to settle into autumn 🍂 I hope you are feeling better and your Covid recovery is going well.
Hi Kat, thank you so much for reading. I am also still learning so much. Sif is an interesting Goddess--it seems she has many facets--several hidden in the overly macho version of the Norse pantheon that is presented in the present day. I would love to see your Rowan paintings!
Thanks for reading Carolena--the news is so shocking--or I am amazed I can still be shocked by such things when they are the common terrorism of patriarchy.
You language sings with sadness and hope -- what brilliant, sensuous imagery -- thanks Ally! I hope your bout of Covid exits your body soon with no lasting effects. I'm looking forward to visiting your beautiful Isles next June (we'll be in Stromness and Westray for 11 days).

I cried when I read the news that you mentioned. Your poem strengthens my resolve.
Take care and grow stronger.
