Beautiful...I feel the same way about Persephone (as you know from my own essay). A fascinating story that's always relevant. Thanks for re-sharing (and sending love your way re the pooch - they are angels with far-too-brief lives❤️)
This is brilliant, Johanna. It brings to mind the millennia of comment and analysis devoted to the Bible and to Torah by students of those texts, exercises in living the stories, of feeling into the recesses of personhood to ascribe intent in places our glossed tellings have left barren. You leave me wondering where else in mythology our humanity and compassion might breathe such vivid, essential life. Thank you!
So wonderful... and my condolences for your loss... sharing your pain and your grief. Your story reminds me of Dante's journeys... and Persephone... the eternal cycle of change is so inspiring... as you all are....thank you so much 🫶
Loved the story of Persephone and how she ties in with navigating life and the seasons of our lives.
Condolences to you and your family on the loss of your family member. To me dogs, are family. Take all the time you need to grieve and let your Self feel all the feels. Sending you a virtual hug.
Always love your voice. Your spin on this is hellaciously delicious.
