This is it - dreams become reality this moment. My new mantra "Action-Action." I'm a believer.
Next stop...Home! I feel it already...my life is about now and about tomorrow...

"The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty"
Book of Life - Lake of River - stuff of myths and heroic epics. Read this book and be forever changed. "God the Tailor accepts the fabulous lunatics of the earth and stitches the immaculate seams. Sense invigorates the cloudy souls. With charity cloth beyond all redemption,they are redeemed." 
Ireland - her people - keep calling to me and I answer "Soon...wait for me" like I would to a restless lover.
I follow the moon and feel the pull of the tides. Soon is not soon enough.

"The Secret Scripture"
The Secret Scripture (2008), shortlisted for the 2008 Man Booker Prize for Fiction and winner of the 2008 Costa Book of the Year Award is a truly amazing book. I thank my dear friend Kathy for telling me about it at this time when I am heading off to the very region in which the novel is set - the northwest of Ireland.
The weaving of our lives and our connections. Choices made and consequences. The haunting of the past.
Sebastian Barry is a brilliant writer - his voice transports me to Ireland. Certainly not the Ireland of the Irish Tourist Board but of a place rich in the history of its forgotten people. A land rich in stories - what will my story be?
