The traffic between storytelling and metaphysics is continuous.

Ritual: The Means of Knowing Something | Kerri ní Dochartaigh

"Ritual finds form through the assumption that it is a means of really knowing something. Religious ceremony and personal rites of passage fill my thoughts. The gentle, insistent act of repeating. How it creates equilibrium between the small & the vast, the seen & unseen, the self & other, the part & the whole. We build myths (which are really just houses). Dwelling places built of the bones left behind from stories. We fill the gaps in the walls with ritual. We insulate it with objects."

— Kerri ní Dochartaigh, Cacophony of Bone
