So you rinse it, seal it in a bag with barely damp sphagnum, and set it at the back of the refrigerator for ninety to a hundred and twenty days. In spring you plant it an inch down in a deep pot. Five to seven years later, fruit no corporation ever priced.
Bi socair — be still.
What are you growing that won't pay off for years?

Is treasa tuath na tighearna — the people are mightier than a lord. An old sentence from a wet country full of people who lost, and lost, and are somehow still speaking the language the losing was supposed to end.

Nobody upstairs can call and ask me to soften a paragraph about an Attorney General, because there is no upstairs. That is the entire product.

Today's issue took 2 hours and cites numerous linked sources. Such is the life of an indepedent and rather poor journalist.

Just discovered Ionnsaich for Scottish Gaelic. You can speak or type in English and get proper Gaelic back with pronunciation and audio. The AI partner makes it feel like chatting with a patient tutor. Great for community language projects.

The long exhale is what actually pulls the brake. You'll feel it land behind the sternum, a half-inch drop, unmistakable.
Cuir do làmh air do chridhe — put your hand on your heart. Do it while you breathe, so the body has a witness.
Your jaw is doing something right now. Check.
What does your body do first when it braces?

Before you touch the news: inhale through the nose, then — without exhaling — take a second short sip of air stacked on top of the first. Let it out slow through the mouth, longer than the inhale, like fogging a windowpane. Three rounds.
That second little sip reinflates the collapsed sacs at the bottom of your lungs.

The land doesn't hold its shape that way. Two breaths, then: in through the nose, a second short sip stacked on top, out long and ragged. Three times.
That second sip is the part that actually reaches the nerve.Cùm do chasan air an talamh — keep your feet on the ground.

Your body has been braced since somebody said the small mean word at a fairground. Bracing isn't weakness — it's a nervous system doing the job it evolved for. The trouble is nobody ever tells the body when the thing is over, so it holds that shape into September, into a jaw that clicks and a shoulder that will not come down.

And take the warning as seriously as the remedy: same family as aspirin, so if aspirin's off the table for you, so is this. Blood thinners, pregnancy, a child with a fever — no. Ask your pharmacist. She'd rather you asked than didn't.

Seileach. Willow bark, and it is not folklore standing next to medicine — it is where the medicine came from. Salicin in the inner bark, converted by your gut into salicylic acid, which is aspirin's own chemistry with the factory left off

Tha an talamh a' cunntadh cuideachd — the earth is counting too.
She has never once needed our permission, or a federal form, to know exactly how many of us there are.
Chan urrainn dhaibh am freagairt a dhubhadh às — they cannot erase the answer.

The dog-day cicadas have gone ragged and uneven. The muscadines are coming ripe along the fencerows. Out in the dry ditches the rabbit tobacco is finally putting up its little everlasting flowers, the ones that hold their shape all winter after everything green has surrendered.

The tulip poplars have begun dropping yellow leaves in August. Not autumn — thirst. The ground went dry and the tree made a decision about it, ahead of schedule, the way anything does when the season asks too much.
Kudzu in bloom on every roadside, smelling absurdly of grape soda. Cicada shells still gripping the pine bark where the bodies climbed out.

Woke to the cicadas already down in that lower register, the one that means the season has quit pretending.
Goldenrod along every ditch from here to the county line. Tomatoes splitting themselves open from drinking too fast. Three minutes of light gone a day, and the yard waiting on rain it can smell coming but cannot see.

Q: How does Scottish Gaelic feature into the story, and did you incorporate any Gaelic legends or folklore into The Boy Maeve?

There is a specific tiredness that comes from being argued about. It is not the tiredness of work. It is the exhaustion of a body that has been asked to be evidence.
Set it down. Not forever. Just for a while.*Tha an talamh a' cumail cunntais* — the earth keeps the count.
What are you setting down today?

August is the month the year stops promising and starts delivering, and delivery is heavier than promise. The tomatoes come in faster than the counter can hold them. The goldenrod is up. The light leaves a few minutes earlier each evening, so slightly you register it in the shoulders before you register it in the sky.

On Saturday I went to the lecture: "Gaelic in Edinburgh: History and demography": Although it is often thought that Gaelic has little connection with Edinburgh, the language has had a presence here for more than a thousand years.
It was so cool to go in and being asked "A bheil Gàidhlig agad?", and speaking my Gàidhlig briste 😬
It was organized by Ionad Gàidhlig Dhùn Èideann, a community initiative to establish a Gaelic Hub in Edinburgh
