The Celtic monastery on Skellig Michael, Co Kerry, is a good subject for imaginative reflection. Looking at the photographs questions such as 'Why was the monastery built here? What would life and faith have been like for the Irish Christian Monks who made their home here?' spring to mind. Of course the photographs also beg the question of gender exclusion: 'And what of the women's faith?' What does all of this say to you?
Fairy forests
-
Grey lichens mid thy hills of creeping thyme
Grow like to fairy forests hung with rime
& fairy money-pots are often found
That spring like little mushrooms...
