It's Raining

  Only yesterday I sat in the sun, having Sunday Lunch.. A treat indeed! I met some friends I had not seen for a while, spent some time with my family, before hitting the road and heading home. Today it is wet , really wet. The Sun is up there somewhere , waiting to shine . So in the meantime I think I will take a break , mess with the computer and maybe watch an old movie until it choses to shine again.

44 years ago, I walked into Finbarr's hospital in Cork city. It had been a big decision and one that would be the key turning point in my life. I remember that at the time I was thinking " What am I doing?' On queue, a nun asked me was I sure I was in the right place. I remember laughing it off, while replying that I was not sure but I'd let her know. I think that she probably was saying to herself, that this one is definetly lost in more ways than one. I was 19, dressed like someone coming from Woodstock, reeking of Petuli while carrying my Rutsack, guitar and a few tin whistles. I was not looking the part of an aspiring student nurse. I never confirmed the answer to the nun's question verbally to her, but I did survive to make it a career. It was not the easiest path that I could have chosen for sure. The hours and demands did get in the way of my other interests. I found a way, or rather life found a way eventually, for me to fit it all in and even find ne...

New Lamps for Old

photo Céline Kavanagh      I am as guilty as anyone for not looking and seeing what is hidden all around me. Do I see and old thing as being Old? Some old things are seen as priceless and collectable like this Bog Oak buried and hidden for years and years.   What is Old and what is New? What is valuable and what is not? I suppose I should stop looking at it and start seeing what is around me every minute. Time is the most precious, oldest and yet newest thing of all.

Mr Jones

 I started to write this after Mr Jones died.    But the words would not come. He was a special guy, deserving of that great name. A name from the song I would sing to him when I'd get home ' Me and Mr Jones.... got a thing going on'  He was great company, very loyal with a great personality. His best buddy was a Springer called Flakes. Sadly, Mr Jones did not do well after Flakes died. He decided to follow him shortly afterwards.  They are buried together under the alders. I feed the birds there each morning, hoping to keep that place warm and alive.  As I have heard, we get these angels on loan for a while. They give so much and when they go they leave a hole in our souls.
