Journey of Illumination, Ascension
The Summer Solstice Sun now in full ascension, is casting its long shadow upon the Sea. It reaches, like an out stretched arm to the shore, touching the ragged rocks that support the East Pier. "I am here." A salmon halo illuminates her flushed rays. As Mother Moon guided and greeted Sister Sun, gently moving as Dancers do South down, East up and both gently Westward.
Journey of Illumination, Silence
To sit quietly with nature is to purposefully reconnection with the soul. To be silent is to allow the beauty of nature in, without distraction from self. It is to hear only the sounds Nature herself is making. It is to listen with openness to Nature. It is to allow oneself to hear, fully and on a cellular level, the message Nature is communicating. The Sun now fully above the horizon is casting a strong shadow upon the Sea, creating an optical repeat of its self, a molten sphere - "The dripping Sun".

Journey of Illumination, the Rising of the Sun, Summer Solstice
Having walked the Harbour Road to the East Pier I arrived at the edge of Balscadden Bay just as the Sun rose fully above the horizon. I felt my breath pause in suspense and having taken in the beauty of the moment for myself I quickly assembled my camera to capture the moment. To me Photography is to capture a singular moment in time, unfettered, unchanged, unedited, glorious in its raw beauty. I am a lover and practitioner of pure photography, for the Art of Light and Moment is a singular beauty all to itself. This is that moment, the moment in the longest day when the Sun shone her beauty fully upon the horizon for the first time.
Journey of Illumination, Pilgrim steps of Summer Solstice Camino
I crossed the road from my house and turning east I walked like a Pilgrim starting a Camino. There was nothing but me and the Mother Nature, my ears were filled with the symphony of birds, bees and gentle lapping of the sea. My eyes took in the gentle beauty of a Dawn walk in Howth and as I looked forward I witnessed the Suns readiness to break through the Dawn to Day. Between and behind the rising masts of the moored sail boats lay a sky of orange, pink, lavender, salmon with breaks of soft yellow. For just one moment I stopped to take the photograph of the moment layed out before me. I breathed deeply the crisp, fresh, fragrant summer morning air. The dew soaking in through my shoes was evaporating and lifting as it did so. I could feel its gentle kiss on my skin. I closed my eyes to listening more clearly to the sound morning makes, to the things it was telling me, the secrets it was sharing. One deep breath, one soul ready for Pilgrimage.

Journey of Illumination, Summer Solstice
I am a Storyteller, a worker of words in the Oral Tradition, a Listener, a Teller, a Re-teller. I am a Storyteller in every capacity of artwork I undertake, be that Photography, Writing Poetry or Prose or any endeavor of Narrative, Visual or Performance Art. I am a Storyteller by the sea and these are my Stories.
I woke at Dawn on the morning of Summer Solstice, like a Butterfly emerging from its cocoon. Leaving my home and crossing Harbour Road to the pier-side I turned to see Mother Moon brightly guiding Sister Sun to her rising point at the horizon.

Welcome Autumn!
Welcome Autumn!
Sumptious colours
Crunching textures under feet
Stories, Songs and Poems hanging in the air
Deep meditations to far away places anywhere
Delicious smell of death

Hello
Hello Blog! Hello Blogosphere!
The long Summer lead me to a long absence from this place.
Now, rooted in the deep seeded Autumn I return.
Maybe there will be words of my Summer adventures
or words of my Autumn journeys in the deep places where Winter awaits.
Maybe there will just a photographs and words that work together,
complimenting and contradicting each other to bring out each others best.
Maybe I will just reflect and share, as is the essence of the Autumn/Winter season.
I am back, whatever that holds, and I look forward to interacting with everyone who has stopped by here before and hopes to meeting new people along the journey.
..........sinking deep into the Autumn.......

"It started in Ringsend"
I have a treasure box. One in which I keep some of my most precious tokens and special things. As an Artist, working as a Storyteller, Writer and Photographer my view of what is and isn't precious may be a bit different to that of others. You'll find no diamonds or pearls, no sapphires, rubies or emeralds in my treasure box. You'll not find any money, nor silver or gold. You will, however, find things that I believe to be far more precious. You will find gifts, tokens, notes from people I have worked with, people who have viewed or purchased my Photographs, people who have listened to my Stories, people I have taught and talked to, people who have seen the beauty in the things I have created and gave something in return, something from the heart.
It all started in Ringsend. Prior to that I kept these treasures amongst other things. However the happenings one sunny Autumn day in Ringsend Library would forever change the way I preserved these treasures. I was Storytelling as part of the Childrens Books Ireland Festival in Ringsend Library, Dublin. It was a spectacular Autumn day. Brightest of blue skies, fresh crisp autumn air, even a few fallen leaves to crunch under foot. This is the day which I stood before a large class of girls and told the Tales of Lorcan the Lamb and Saoirse the Fairy.
Storytelling is a special art. If done correctly it creates a symbiotic resonance between The Teller and The Listener(s). This was such a special occasion. I remember having a sense of something 'other worldly' in the large room, specifically to my right up near the windows. Perhaps I too was about to be swept away in the Story. Just having finished the part in the Story where Saoirse creates the rainbow for Lorcan, two small girls in the front row and to my left began quietly murmuring to each other and looking carefully at each others hands. "Miss", they said, "I think Saoirse the Fairy is here." I will never forget this moment. They both stuck out their hands, holding them up high and stretching out their fingers as they slowly stood and walked up towards me. "Look. It came from under there. Under our chairs." "What is it"? I said "Look all this glitter. It must be Saoirse the Fairy." I looked at their tiny hands to see that they were, in fact, covered with glitter. Suddenly, the girls started to gather around to confirm whether or not glitter had magically appeared underneath the chairs. They were every convinced by the evidence. The Teachers stepped in to usher them all back to their seats. Many hands went up with questions about Saoirse. I answered all their questions. Quietly, one of the 'glitter girls' rose and came to me. Holding out her hand she said, "Can I give you this? Please, it's for Saoirse." It was a small piece of blue wool yarn and a few specks of glitter. "Yes, of course you can." She smiled saying "Tell Saoirse Thank You for coming" as she gave me the wool and glitter, which I promptly placed into the Saoirse's pink bag. When I looked up the girls had smoothly formed into a long que waiting their turns to make offerings and give gifts to Saoirse. I received many strings of blue and other colour wool that day, some glitter, some felt and other little bits and a few small bits of broken crayon for "making colours", the little girls said shyly. At the end of it all I had one pink bag filled with little offerings.
We got back to the Stories. As the girls left I had many "thank you's", as did Saoirse, many hugs, as did Lorcan and many wonderful comments from the pleased Teachers. Most amazing to me was my discussion with the Librarian following the Storytelling in which she divulged the following information:
She did not know where the glitter had come from, as there had been no arts & crafts there in well over a week, after which the had been taken down and rearranged and thoroughly cleaned at least three times for the other engagements. Additionally, the girls had nothing with them from which they might 'place' the glitter.
Perhaps a mystery, perhaps not. I do believe in magic and I do believe that Storytelling can create a magical atmosphere. And, YES, I do believe that Saoirse the Fairy was there that day with us.
Later that night I left all these things, the pink bag and all it's contents, out on the front room table. There was blank card paper there, as I had been making cards. When I awoke the next morning I found this on the table:

This now sits safely in my Treasure Box. Knowing the Story, I'm sure you will agree it truly is a Treasure.
It lives in my Treasure box with other special things. Among the more recent additions are: a beautiful diamond-like ball given to me by Allanah to help me when I get writers block (Allanah was in my Creative Writing Class and the School Completion Program Writers Group at St. Louise's Primary School), two delicate flowers one very thoughtful boy, from St. Louise's Primary School, picked for Lorcan the Lamb and a very bright and colourful bracelet one girl gave to me to give to Saoirse the Fairy after my Storytelling at Ballyfermot Library on International Children's Book Day.

"Exchanging champagne for coffee and tea in a pink limousine"
If I go missing after next Thursday, you might begin your search by looking in pink stretch limousines.
The Girls from my Writer's Group, in protest at the news this week that our Writer's Group will be coming to an end for this school year, have notified me that they will be kidnapping me in order to continue Writer's Group; so wonderful has been their experience. Am I alarmed? Absolutely NOT. In fact, this is not the first mention of a kidnapping. The scheme was first hatched at the ending of our first six weeks together. Luckily, my contract was renewed and our Writer's Group extended. The kidnapping scheme have evolved from it's first, near miss of a necessity. It began with a simple car filled with cozy blankets and pillows, evolving with each threat of an end to Writer's Group. Next I was upgraded to a caravan.
After being with my Girls since October of 2013, they have graciously upgraded me to fantastic captivity, in extra Girly Writers Style. I have been promised a "very non-scary capture", followed by luxury captivity in an extra long, pink, stretch limousine, with sparkles on the sides. Towards the back a cozy sleeping area with lots of blankets and pillows, with one girl even offering her One Direction blanket; which any of you will surely know is a treasured and extra warm commodity. One wall will house a multitude of books and all the notebooks/journals and pencils and pens in all colours (including sparkly ones) that I could ever need. I will have at my disposal, I am informed, any food I want. I was told I would have a grand supply of champagne as well. However, after I thanked the girls for the offer of champagne, I did have to ask if I could please make an exchange of the champagne for a supply of coffee and teas - as champagne can make you "a bit loopy and so not really the best for writing". The girls agree saying, "ah, yes, good point"! I am informed that my Husband can come and stay with me, because the girls "don't want me to be sad for missing him."
As I prepare myself for the last meeting of The Writer's Group this school year I would be lying if I did not mention how truly sad I am at the ending of this project. But, as I told the girls last week when the bad news was revealed, "don't be sad because it's over, be happy because we had the chance to do all of this." I am sad, but I am far more happy. Happy that I was given this opportunity. It's not every Writer that gets to do this. Happy that I had the chance to work at such an incredible school and with such dedicated and talented Staff. Happy that I made new friends. Happy that I learned so very, very much during this experience. Happy that I had the opportunity to work with such AMAZING GIRLS!! Happy that I was invited into the classrooms to Teach. Just face-breaking-smile HAPPY! Because, when good things happen, you have to embrace them and cherish them and be happy while they last.
Exciting new things are already in the pipeline and will no doubt keep my mind occupied and hands busy. Only two weeks after finishing up Writer's Group I will be Launching Sea Speak Storytelling's first ever Storytelling Festival. It will be one, wonderful day full of Stories for all ages! Other projects are inked into my Diary for the next few months, including (as a teaser) my return to The Irish Redhead Convention 2014 in August.
So, it's a busy spring/summer I've ahead of me. It's only a good thing that I'll be writing and planning out of the comforts of my, soon to be, captivity in that sparkly stretch pink limousine......sipping coffee, of course!

"An UNhappy Mother's Day"
We are sometimes as if covered and suffocating in cement.
Being pulled and dragged down into depths unknown.
We are sometimes as if wearing masks.
Masks of perfect form and detail, but lacking in expression.
We are sometimes as if alive, our shell being so life-like.
Yet it is but a shell, eyes closed, mouth closed, nose barely breathing - barely living.
We are sometimes as if gray.
Life existing without colour.
Ten years ago I found myself wishing for an unhappy Mother's Day, wishing for any kind of a Mother's Day. I had survived a nine week whirlwind which took me from Bride to pregnant with Twins, to losing one baby, then weeks later losing the second baby and a few weeks later surrounded by the throws of Mother's Day in a land which worships The Mammy.
I wished for unhappiness because that would have been so superior to the pain that was ripping my heart into shreds. It had all happened too fast. It had collided with disastrous outcome into a day celebrating the things, the Beings, I had just lost. They were not with me, and I not with them. They were not who they should have been, alive and growing and strong. I was not who I should have been, incubator, nest, Mammy.
Everywhere I looked there was happiness, gorgeous smiles, hearts bursting out of beaming faces, arms embracing, eyes so full of love and adoration that you could feel it by looking into them, flowers of every colour, best dresses, little suits, round protruding bellies, hands held, bizarrely beautiful handmade cards with inscriptions and drawings only a Mother could understand, bright beautiful colours exploding everywhere you looked.
There we were. Pain so intense words escape. Gray, colourless mounds of hurt. Hearts ripped open.
Ten year anniversaries bring a rip in the heart, when that anniversary is not a fond one. When that anniversary commemorates a pain, a death, a loss, then it can be nothing less than a reliving of that first heart-shred. Your mind and heart meld together to touch into the past and in doing so, my mind, does not just take in today, or ten years ago, but eight years ago as well. February and March took my three babies from me.
I have always thought Mother's Day at the end of March a particularly cruel joke.
A day which, from ten years ago onward, became day for which my aim has simply been to survive.
Mother's Day in Ireland has never been far enough removed from the loss of my babies for me to have been able to digest it. It's never been a cause for celebration for me. It has only been a call for survival.
To all the Mother's who never held their babies or felt their breath on their skin, but who knew and loved those babies from day one, know that this too is YOUR DAY. It's just a little bit different to the rest.
