creative practice: curragh

There's a part of Irish myth in which a person sets out -- sometimes by choice, sometimes is forced to, depending on the story--in a curragh with only the night stars as guide and a knife for tool. A curragh is a small fabric framed boat. Having made the night (and day) sea journey to distant lands, the hero is then able to accomplish great things.
