Blue Dark and Aoradh

Just ordered Blue Dark "A book of poems, stories and meditations charting a spiritual journey." by Chris Goan of Aoradh in Dunoon, Argyll, Scotland. There's more from Chris and others from Aoradh on their web-site... including a poem by Chris connected to some Irish saint who seems somewhat familiar ;-) ...

St Brendan

Lord stain me with salt

Brine me with the badge of the deep sea sailor

I have spent too long

On concrete ground.

If hope raises up these tattered sails

Will you send for me

A fair and steady wind?

Hi there Mark-

Thanks for the comment, and the plug!- I hope you enjoy the book!

I almost caught your talk @ Greenbelt- I think you met my friend Alistair... really like the sound of what God is leading you and yours into.

What is the St Brendan connection then?

Blessings

Chris

Hey Chris... St Brendan is kind of our Patron Saint...
