Dian Killian, Ph.D. :- your piece is extremely interesting - you identify many items of great value in a very readable text and the accompanying well chosen photographs - both your own photos and the photos from the national folk collection - are very fine and relevant to the text.
That is so interesting! You are making the Irish language so interesting. I had long since turned away from it having endured the didactic monotonous Irish classes in school. Linking phrases to cultural contexts makes Irish so much richer and unique. It may just tempt me to contemplate taking lessons in Irish, after a gap of 50 years!
Wow il have to reread this to fully appreciate the depth and richness you have highlighted here in the Irish language and culture. Meitheal is such a rich beautiful word
This was such a beautiful piece, Dian!!! I'm so inspired by what you are doing...both the wings of adventure and the rootedness in place. Thanks for sharing your beautiful writing and imagery with us. It is salve for souls seeking to remember a different way to live and be together.
This makes my day!! 🥳 Come to Ballyferriter next summer!! 😻
Highly recommend this online program as well! https://www.thetrailblazery.com/ss-self-paced
