Carmen, thank you for this beautiful letter from outside the camp. It reconnected me with the history of the English language which I studied and loved as an English major - and then lost after college (a few decades ago). It’s such a gift to go with you to the marsh you share so lovingly about. 💚
Thank you, Carmen - “Be Still and Know” is the name of my Substack! So I was particularly interested in hearing each version of this part of Psalm 46:10. I also found it interesting that “see” was pronounced as “say” up until fairly recently. Food for contemplation.
Thank you Professor for your gentle words of wisdom spoken melodically and poetically all so wrapped in soothing calm. Your historical language lesson bridges generations of Inspiritus.
Creation is surely the place to be still and know within. And the depths your translation reveals of how this phrase traveled through time - such connections to those before. Thank you.
I participated in the new rendition of the Living School, and your contribution was so meaningful for me. Your shared love of nature and a traumatic childhood was such a gift opening my eyes to possibilities even within that. Thank you and so grateful for continued contact.
