Be More Bird
'Part memoir, part beginner’s guide, part self-help, but wholly wonderful book … It's a real treat to read these nuggets of winged wisdom' MAIL ON SUNDAY ‘A small masterpiece, written with heart, self-belief and wisdom. Wonderful!’ PAUL THEROUX A true story of Bird and writer Candida Meyrick, set on Anglesey – and a fable for us all to find a way to fly. The twelve-week-old Harris Hawk, Sophia Houdini Whitewing – aka Bird – is trained over the following months by the author and her children to be most herself: a skilled hunter and dazzling aerial gymnast, whose flights enrapture the family and set the author on a deepening love affair with life on the wing. Working with her Harris Hawk over the following years reveals a new world: confronting mortality daily, moving through a liminal landscape, part sky-, part earth-bound. And every day’s hunting brings a new life-lesson. Bird opens up a way of being that is everything the author most longs to be: courageous, compassionate, independent, full of joy – free as a bird. Be More Bird charts this deepening relationship between bird and woman, set in one of Britain’s wildest landscapes. It reveals the subtle dynamic possible between human and bird, illuminating the ancient, worldwide art of falconry and its urgent relevance for the modern mind: the importance of untethering our souls and belief-systems and re-establishing a connection with the wilder world. Structured around a series of ‘life lessons', Be More Bird transports readers into the wildness hidden within themselves and to think profoundly about our connections with nature and our lives. Be More Bird is a true story, still unfolding, of a wild predator who by choice flies in partnership with a woman as her earth-bound helper. Bird crosses boundaries: between species, cultures, sky and earth. In this way, Be More Bird is a fable for our times. Dare to be more. Be more Bird.
The Dove Descending
For The Dove Descending, a collection of eminent theologians, poets, priests and thinkers came together to consider the immersive, irreducible vision of the Holy Spirit and His presence in Christ, the Scriptures, the Church, the Saints, the Father, and the world. The collected articles from the Pusey House Conference 2022 draw from a rich history of theological and literary figures - from Augustine of Hippo to Hans Urs von Balthasar, from John Milton to T.S. Eliot - whilst continually centring vigorous and incisive scriptural analysis. Crystalising around the third article of the creed, the communion of the Holy Spirit, these articles explore the centrality of the sacraments, the necessity of yielding any possession of the spirit, and the recognition of Christ in the Holy Spirit, and, through Him, in the other. These papers, published here for the first time, are a crucial read for any academic, theologian or curious Christian, illuminating the complexity in envisioning the Spirit alongside the hope for the future His presence represents.
