And by the way,
Canada is not for sale.
~ You can take Cap Ferrat… Portofino, Positano… they are beautiful to be sure… but I’m sorry. Mullaghmore, will never be home this time around, I know… but there is no other place for me. No other light. Such is life.

I’d be happier if it said people calming ahead, but you take what you can get, so.

Trawalua Strand over to Mullaghmore and Donegal, then Greenland and to Iceland then Canada …

Then rewind.
And repeat.

A Coat

I MADE my song a coat
Covered with embroideries
Out of old mythologies
From heel to throat;
But the fools caught it,
Wore it in the world's eyes
As though they'd wrought it.
Song, let them take it,
For there's more enterprise
In walking naked.

~ William Butler Yeats

I never tire of watching my river buddy in the Garavogue.
Endless patience, mostly on one leg :)

“Irish poets, learn your trade, Sing whatever is well made, Scorn the sort now growing up
All out of shape from toe to top,
Their unremembering hearts and heads
Base-born products of base beds.”

-WB Yeats

Canadian wildfires, make for a momentary soft start to the day in Sligo… it will all change here in a minute.
It always does.

A Turneresque rendering of the Garavogue tonight as the sun set, because that’s how I feel, so.

Just… perfect.

Sciatica.

Sucks.

Might as well have one of these sitting on the nerve 🫥

It’s always so unbelievably surreal, bizarre , to be out listening to one of your tracks just back from being mastered, where it was written,where it is about.
It will never stop being, one of those very strange things…

A little private universe.

This is going straight to my son 😂
If you’re a writer, it’s important to take regular breaks. Gradually increase their frequency and duration. Eventually you will have stopped writing altogether, and can take your place as a normal, decent member of society.

All quiet on High Street.
9:12 pm and I’m going to bed.
Goodnight Sligo.
I’m done.
