Am on the Camino this week. It's Good Friday in Orthodox tradition. Am sending all my followers love and blessings. More next week.

I'm enjoying working on these mediations in the days after easter, and will be walking the camino from Tui to Santiago between April 27 and May 5. What does it mean that I am here. What does it mean that you are here. What does it mean if the clock ticks or doesn't tick. Let's explore that today. My walk on the Camino will coincide with the Orthodox period of Holy Week. Looking forward to it. Might send you random dispatches on the road. 

I began talking about how it felt in the bath and ended up talking about Pentecost and the coming of the Spirit. A long journey of a podcast, through the confusions of a writers journey. Hope you enjoy. Blessings.

Exactly four years after the Lock Down began in Ireland and four years since I began podcasting I also began writing this book. Delighted to share the first section of it with you today. 

This is a day we carry with us. We can enter this moment at anytime of the day or season. Good Friday is a psychic space. And the core of it is Holy Thursday. Holy Thursday is a ritual that presents us with the architecture of heaven. The full realisation of divine light in a single moment, a single tiny ritual. That's the floor and ground of Good Friday. Taken together they are a marking of exquisite human truth and beauty. Use it like a well that we can return to again and again, especially in times of sorrow.
