We’ll make the culture we inhabit with what we vote for with our attention and the things we create with our time, and if that is advice, it’s something I’m saying just as much to myself as I am to anyone else 🙂
Cool to hear about St. David’s day. I was just reading about St. David in my “Lives of the Saints” for March 1st. No mention of Armes Prydein there, but it was probably inspired by the legends of his preaching. “It is related that, as he preached, the ground beneath his feet rose and became a hill, so that he was heard by an innumerable crowd.”
Also, speaking of Prydein, have you ever read Lloyd Alexander’s Chronicles of Prydain? Fflewddur is a bard in that series that matches your theme, as his harp is cursed to break whenever he sings a lie.
You'll have to tell me more about St. David sometime. I should really know more as a Welshman!
I started Chronicles of Prydain when I was in school a couple of years ago after I heard one of my teachers talk about it. I had to put it aside due to other reading demands, unfortunately. I'm sure I'll get around to reading it again since it aligns so closely to my general interests.
I like this statement you made:
