For it is important that awake people be awake, or a breaking line may discourage them back to sleep; the signals we give — yes or no, or maybe — should be clear: the darkness around us is deep. -- William Stafford, "A Ritual to Read to Each Other"
I am really enjoying your writing, Sean! An bhfuil Gaeilge agat? Although I am unable to join Sunday’s class live due to a prior engagement, I will register so that I have the recording. The plants you highlighted are just perfect. Go raibh míle maith agat. Green blessings to you from the emerald lands of the PNW (Oregon).
It’s unfathomably hard to learn! I’m in over my head most days. I’m impressed you studied it in HS! I keep hoping my Irish ancestry will kick in somehow. 🤦♀️
One of my favorite Stafford poems. Thanks for reminding me of it. I am going to share it a storytelling event this weekend.

Me, too! I’m using DuoLingo, and Bite-Size Irish on Youtube thus far. ☘️
Likewise. And I studied it for 3 years in High School (north of Ireland) but fell behind early and threw in the towel 🤦🏻♂️
