Not sure what to say?

Mary Daly, you were a direct channel to the Goddess. I agree 100% with your interpretation of language under patrirachy, your books are maps to the language of the universe.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the death of your dear love one. “And no resident will say: I am sick…” Isa 33:24. This is a promise God has made known in his word. Perhaps one day in the divine future you or I may see again those fallen from our lives due to a sickness or illness that led to an untimely death. Prayers go out to the surviving family and friends may the God of comfort continue to bless you and yours.

Sister Water, Sister Earth, Sussistanako!

I learned of your passing today. I am in shock. You are my hero.

I hope you are with Andree, spinning and sparking and weaving, just as you were that night in the summer of 1979 in Lincoln, Mass.

Mary I knew you since 1955 when you came to Cardinal Cushing to teach Theology. You made a great impression on me I helped you pack when you were going to Fribough to study.
I have always kept you in my prayers.
