Love this, and found it thanks to Joyce Wycoff’s quote from it in her “Gratitude Mojo” newsletter. Now I’m going to check out the one you mentioned and linked to. So many awesome writers on Substack!

Keening banned Catholic

Muted connection with life

Banned experience of death

The remnants pulled apart

Cyclic loops of time

Broken by the church

Thank you for this! I actually posted an essay about Dickinson days before O'Connor died, so I was thinking of the two of them simultaneously throughout much of the week. Your essay helped me see deeper, fascinating connections between the two of them.
