Today's walk... took a chance on the glimmer of sunshine and rainbow, but the sky had another idea 🌧🌧🌧 #stormhour #photohour #speirgorm #plotwalk

As we head into a new week, please know that your best is good enough. Be kind to yourself. Our fears and anxieties are real, but there is still so much that is beautiful about life. If we can pause and mindfully return to the present moment, we can find calm. May your week be peaceful. 😊 #life

Happy #BlueSkyMonday Dublin autumn #sunrise #thephotohour ##speirgorm

After a week of increased anxiety and violence, and increasing social tension on both sides of The Pond, it is more important than ever to find moments of calm. Return to your breathing and be in the present moment for a while. Know that you are precious and that you are not alone. 😊 #nature #calm

❛ I don't think there could ever be too many poets. By writing poetry, even those poems that fail and fail miserably, we honor and affirm life. We say "We loved the earth but could not stay". Pulitzer prize-winning poet, Ted Kooser, born #OTD in 1939.

Just to say, if like me your feed is alot of US politics to the exclusion of UK/Ireland accounts, then reposting content you like - even if it's just the picture of a beach - rather than just liking it, really works. My feed has improved (along with some judicious muting) immeasurably.

Wonderful events planned for this day in and around the Glencree & Dargle rivers. www.shakingbog.ie/riverscapes
