Irish Literature loving, story telling, political junkie. Retweets, interesting. My tweets are real and they love humanity. Occasional commentary re politics.
"On the day when
the weight deadens
on your shoulders
and you stumble,
may the clay dance
to balance you.
When the canvas frays
and a stain of ocean
blackens beneath you,
may there come across the waters
a path of yellow moonlight
to bring you safely home."
John O'Donohue
Sometimes it's the little things. :)
After picking up her order, she noticed a message on the cup: “Erin,” the barista had scrawled next to a heart, “your soul is golden.”

Twitter is the ex who won't die. Laughing. Been incredibly busy these few months and today Twitter decided to send out several old accidentally scheduled tweets I was previously unable to delete. You were the grand recipient. Hope everyone is doing great. Big hug. Happy September
"I am yours. If I died this moment, I am yours. Forget me. Forget me and love me again as you did the first time. Forget me and come back to me again."

Indeed, Hemingway's best book. My favorite. Happy anniversary "The Old Man and the Sea."
"Everything about him was old except his eyes, and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated."
“Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?”
"But, thank God, they are not as intelligent as we who kill them, although they are more noble and more able."

"Ireland My Ireland
Where The Hills Are So Green
How I Long To Be With You
But It's Only A Dream.
My Mind Wanders Back
To A Silver Lagoon
That's Bathed By Sunlight
And Cradled By Moon"
Alice J. Perry
"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference"
Robert Frost
I hope you warmly embrace the road you're on. I hope you also choose new roads tomorrow.
And "It Makes No difference" is the best sad song ever written and sung by The Band. Rick Danko and Robbie Robertson. You can't believe a man's heart has been broken until you listen to this. Superb.
"It makes no difference, night or day
The shadow never seems to fade away"
