Well, maybe. . . Friday, July 30, 2010. In the Whisper of Your Passage. Higher on the valley wall, berries sprayed the thorny ridge of its backbone. Their red blue vitality evident between my fingers, staining today with yesterday's promise. I knew I would do well to heed those lessons. Even when turning in confusion's ...

Well, maybe. . . Friday, December 07, 2012. In the beginning of darkness. I find myself in this dark place where everything outside seems either darker than inside or alien, as if who I am is no longer the person I knew not long ago.

Wednesday, September 7, 2011. Ireland Revisited: Across the Western Ocean. Day 35 of 35: Tuesday, September 7, 2010. You have to be at [xyz] in [abc] minutes! Carlos Santana didn't look like he needed such shepherding. But, then again, Carlos is a whole month younger than Ronnie and me. We didn't bother Mr. Wood beyond simply nodding to him as we passed him in the lobby. US presence in Dublin's airport. (This is the "old" passenger terminal; the. New one opened just a few weeks later. Prologue, August 2.

SherWords: Two Astronomers and the Forest of the Iroquois
http://sherwords.blogspot.com/2011/10/two-astronomers-and-forest-of-iroquois_29.html
Saturday, October 29, 2011. Two Astronomers and the Forest of the Iroquois. I stopped by the grocery store on my way home, depleted and stone-brained dull. As I pushed my cart into line, something in the soundtrack of the audio pablum of Safeway's muzak caught my attention. By the time I reached the front of the line, my skin was all a-goosebump, and I had to concentrate on stopping tears lest the checker judge me to be dangerous. Sailing to Philadelphia" was playing as I waited to pay for my wheat chex.

SherWords: Save This Map for Later
http://sherwords.blogspot.com/2010/07/save-this-map-for-later.html
Thursday, July 15, 2010. Save This Map for Later. Ballyvaughan is a tiny town in County Clare, pinched against the south side of Galway Bay by the Burren's otherworldly karst. Its most-photographed feature is a signpost:. Diane and I passed through Ballyvaughan in August, 2006, and this sign. All that by way of introducing this map of our tentative plans for the next month (please click on the image to see a larger and clearer one) from Google Earth:. And how much similarity it shows to this rough-out.

Monday, September 5, 2011. Ireland Revisited: The Mountains of Mourne. Day 33 of 35: Sunday, September 5, 2010. Drifting in the rain on Carlingford Lough. Postponed to last by circumstance, we finally drove up from Dublin toward Belfast and swerved right at Newry in County Down (UK) into the Mountains of Mourne. Diane had wanted to see this storied part of Ulster for a long time, and we had initially planned to go there early on in our trip, but circumstances kept pushing us back toward the end. Is not a...

SherWords: Ireland Revisited: Last Full Day in Birr

Saturday, September 3, 2011. Ireland Revisited: Last Full Day in Birr. Day 31 of 35: Friday, September 3, 2010. Hornbeam hallway in the Cloisters, Millennium Gardens, Birr Castle Demesne. Our last full day in the Demesne was mostly spent in the Bothy packing and cleaning; Diane's ankle was too sore from yesterday's trudging up and down the Hill of Uisneach to do much beyond that. A count, a countess, and a no-account. They are delightful people, and we’ll miss them. With views from two near the castle, f...
