The image shows the ruin of a church going across the centre of the frame. It is built of mixed grey and pinkish stones and there is a series of arches in this side of the structure. In the foreground are low stone walls and vegetation. The sky is blue.

The ruins of Iona Nunnery. This Augustinian nunnery was founded in about 1200 with Bethoc, a daughter of Somerled, serving as its first prioress. It is now a beautifully tranquil oasis on the sublime island of Iona. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

“How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?”

“Who'll carry the coffin?
Me, says the sunset, the whole world will weep
To see me lower it into the deep.
I'll carry the coffin.”

Book jacket with a green background. The author's name is in black. The title is in white letters An Illustration shows a lively collage-like representation of fire. Inside each tongue of this "flame" are fragments of three different elements; part of a medieval painting of the praying Virgin Mary, dressed in blue, an abstract red and black spiraling design, and two photo images of the Scottish island of Iona. Outside the flames, two bees are shown flying - one beneath and one above the central image.

I'm currently reading 👇
"The Book of I", by David Greig (Europa Editions, 2025).

"A dazzling fresh take on early medieval life, as funny as it's moving, The Book of I is a wild trip." - Emma Donoghue, author of "Room"

A tiny part of me wishes that there were more ice agents in Minneapolis so they could see how truly insanely resilient we are. Smelled like spring two days ago...9 inches of snow today and still coming.
