Lastly for this evening, my now-traditional enquiry as to which phrases, images & sentences you found most resonant & why? These chapters are, to my mind, absolute treasure-houses in terms of one-liners:
"Life, it seems, won't be warned off."
"I like the unpath best"
...
"Life, it seems, won't be warned off."
"I like the unpath best"
...
"Knowledge does not dispel mystery"
"You wait, & soon the birds forget you"
I could go on & on. But I'd rather hear from you, of course. Meanwhile, if you'll forgive the indulgence, here's me & my younger brother on the plateau, back in the days of cagoules.
As for next time...

...I suggest we meet again *for the last time* at 8pm BST, Sat 11 April, having read Chapters 9-12 (i.e. to the end of #TheLivingMountain). I want then to grow a resource list of the wondrously rich & diverse creative responses that the Cairngorms & Nan's work have inspired...
...from the music of @Jenny_Sturgeon & @NapierHamish to the dance & film of @lucylucycash & Simone Kenyon. So share recommendations then, & if you've written, drawn or made music in response to these mountains or others, or Nan, come tell us about it!
