Welcome to part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Greg Kennedy. In the first epiosde we talked about ecology, animals, and spiritual direction. In this, the second episode, we discuss his books the Reupholstered Psalms and Amazing Friendships between Animals and Saints. What does he mean by Reupholstered Psalms ? We talk about that title and how he is not rewriting” or “reconstructing” the Psalms, but “reupholstering” them. He has also written a lovely children’s book called Amazing Friendships between Animals and Saints. We talked about St. Kevin, who held out his hands as a nest for blackbirds. Greg mentions Seamus Heaney's poem St. Kevin and the Blackbird, which you can find at this link. You can find it in many other places online, too, including a reading by Seamus Heaney.
