The second proverb in the series, this one a meditation on our blessed inter-dependence. It unpacks its meaning and its opportunity in a couple important ways and to my mind, it has never felt truer.

Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine.

People live in each other’s shadows.

As one beloved Irish teacher used to say for emphasis:

Is fíor duit, a chailín!

True for you, girl!

True for all of us!
