Dragon-Slayer & Sower: The Mystical Path of St. Columba
Manage episode 487885627 series 3089727
On the Feast of St. Columba, we journey into the tangled roots of Irish and Scottish spirituality, discovering a God who is not merely a distant craftsman, but the “First Seeder”—one who sows potential, not dictates form. St. Columba’s life was fierce and fiery: dragon-slayer, monastery founder, exile, and mystic. But his most lasting gift may be a single word—an image of the Divine as the sower of all being, inviting us to grow wild, resilient, and free. In a world obsessed with control, what might it mean to see ourselves as seeds—planted, growing, and transforming creation from within?
