Identity, language, myth & (be)longing

from Feral Words · host Eleanor Cheetham

In this episode I chat with Daniel Hill about writing, identity and mythology. We explore the inspiration behind his new chapbook, and discuss how his creative practice is continuing to emerge. We talk about: * How identity is formed through language, and vice versa * Why myth is fertile ground for bringing people together * The tension between cynefin - a deep sense of belonging to land and community - and hiraeth - a longing for home that may be distant, lost or imagined * The power and beauty of poetry (even if it feels intimidating) * How Dan’s new chapbook - (be)longing - came into being Get full access to The Wildheart Papers at thewildheartpress.substack.com/subscribe

Wisdom's Proof JesusLifeTogether In a world of religion, ritual, hierarchy, control, money, marketing, and more flavors than 10,000 Baskin Robbins — how can we know what is Right and True? Some just give up. Bad move. JESUS LIVES and REIGNS! Some simply "go along to get along" to conform to culture and biological family. Really bad move, unless you are a lemming and don't care about the destiny someone else has chosen for you. But then JESUS, knowing this day would come, said, "By their fruit you shall know them" and "Wisdom is PROVED RIGHT by all her CHILDREN." Luke 7:35 Find some random offspring from whatever you wish you knew more about, look carefully at the second generation, and see if the gates of Hell are prevailing — as they would in a "mere words" and "mere ceremonies" attendance-based religious organization. OR, is satan getting busted in the mouth by that second generation? What is the fruit and the quality of LIVES of the children - once they can make their own choices? Then you'll Know.
