Evanna Lynch Instagram – So sad to hear this news 💔 and I wanted to add my voice to the chorus of admiration for her and extend love to her family and friends so they know how much her spirit inspired generations of people over the decades.
I only felt drawn to her work in recent years and became a fan. I didn’t get her at all when I was younger, she was more a figure of vague curiosity. As a teen I couldn’t understand a woman who would willingly shear herself of her greatest and most powerful tool for expression of beauty – hair!!! Until I grew older and understood that she was accentuating a more deep and truthful beauty, cutting away the frippery that distracts from her most beguiling and beautiful feature – her fierce heart! ❤️🔥I was drawn to stories of her in the media, speaking her mind, offending people left and right, being too bare in her expressions, but always demonstrating such compassion for humanity. For however much she didn’t seem to care about pissing people off, she cared so much about people. An exhausting way to exist in the world, no doubt. And then I read her book last year and was amazed by how lucid and brilliant her mind was. Be aware of the mainstream media depicting women who feel too much and are too much as hysterical lunatics who’ve lost their way – in my experience they’re often the ones who see and reflect society back with the clearest eyes. I loved her reflection on the aftermath of ripping up the picture of the pope, of how the narrative was that she’d destroyed her career but actually in doing something that radically truthful to her, she set herself back on a path of artistic integrity and personal authenticity. I listened to her music everyday in March when doing my recent play to connect with the proud Irish warrior archetype that she embodied so boldly. I hope you all read her book ‘Rememberings’ and listen to her records and let her cries stir that fire up in your soul 🔥 I will imagine her soul reunited with her son and pray for her family. Rest in peace, Sinéad O’Connor / Shuhada Sadaqat ♥️🙏🏻 | Posted on 27/Jul/2023 16:22:17
