We are made in his image - spoken into existence by the living word- for God's pleasure which is selfless love.

I still keep playing my CAD CD over and over. Hope you enjoy the CAD CD as well! |
I was fortunate enough to see Albannach and The Wicked Tinkers both on the same stage at the Fullerton highland games last summer! The highlight of the day!

| QUOTE (thecelticgiraffe @ 13-Feb-2008, 07:46 AM) | TandVh..a very nice poem and truly from the heart. I would have liked it to be a little longer. If you ever have a new version of it..post it and let us see. I re-write my poems all the time. Seems like after I read them years later I have a slightly different thought on things, and feel I have to modify the poem! I try not to change too much though, of course.
As well, I have many times tortured myself over why I can't except normalcy. Years later I still do not except it and continue to look for more. |
You're quite right- I wrote a poem about Lilith (adams first wife) in colledge- 30 years later, I added to it considerably and was able to better convey what I originaly wanted to 30 years prior!
I'll try to find it........... |

Speaking of haunting Ullian pipes- her song "Two Trees" is an excellent example-
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
The holy tree is growing there;
From joy the holy branches start
And all the trembling flowers they bear.
The changing colors of its fruit
Have dowered the stars with merry light;
The surety of its hidden root
Has planted quiet in the night;
The shaking of its leafy head
Has given the waves their melody.
And made my lips and music wed,
Murmuring a wizard song for thee,
There the Loves a circle go,
The flaming circle of our days,
Gyring, spiring to and fro
In those great ignorant leafy ways;
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart
Thine eyes grow full of tender care;
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart.
Gaze no more in the bitter glass
The demons, with their subtle guile,
Lift up before us when they pass,
Or only gaze a little while;
For there a fatal image grows
That the stormy night receives,
Roots half hidden under snows,
Broken boughs and blackened leaves.
For all things turn to bareness
In the dim glass the demons hold,
The glass of outer weariness,
Made when God slept in times of old.
There, through the broken branches, go
The ravens of unresting thought;
Flying, crying, to and fro,
Cruel claw and hungry throat,
Or else they stand and sniff the wind,
And shake their ragged wings: alas!
Thy tender eyes grow all unkind:
Gaze no more in the bitter glass.
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart,
The holy tree is growing there;
From joy the holy branches start,
And all the trembling flowers they bear.
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart,
Thine eyes grow full of tender care;
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart.

No doubt in my mind! She enchants me on all of her cd's. I truly love The Mummers Song. Her Nights of the Alhambra video is one of my fvorites.

Imbolc is one of the four principal festivals of the Irish calendar, celebrated among Gaelic peoples and some other Celtic cultures either at the beginning of February or at the first local signs of Spring. Most commonly it is celebrated on February 2, as this is the cross-quarter day on the solar calendar, halfway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Originally dedicated to the goddess Brigid, in the Christian period it was adopted as St Brigid's Day. In Scotland the festival is also known as Là Fhèill Brìghde, in Ireland as Lá Fhéile Bríde, and in Wales as Gwyl Ffraed.

Wow- tall order! I have hosted a clan booth at highland games and my Son has participated in the athletic events, but, to get an overview of a complete Highland Gaming Event, you'd have to do a lot of research. I suggest Gooogling Highland Games and go to the different sites that come up and maybe contact some of the vent co-ordinators listed there.
Good Luck- sounds like an adventuresome undertaking!

I like Guinness Stout better than Guinnes Draught- although any Guiness is good Guinness! |

| QUOTE (maggiemahone1 @ 07-Jan-2008, 12:49 AM) | and by the way I don't think there's alot of women hater's here, thay only let on to their beer drinking buddies they do!!! you know you guys love coming home to a woman that smells all sweet and pretty and meets you at the door with a smilin' face with a drink in her hand and a kiss that promises more to come just for her one true love. Kinda of a June Cleaver woman. She has the six pack in the fridge chillin, the house all spiffy, your dinner ready on the table, uses her feminine charms on you and you agree to any thing the little woman wants, which is...your checkbook along with your credit cards. Why would any man want to go out and drink beer in a smoky ol' pub, watch a football game and blow wind when he can have his best friend sittting by his side, his companion, the mother of his rug rats, his lover and his best friend watching The Soap Net, watching Luke and Laura. Ha, The He-Man Woman's Club my foot...it's the whatever you say sweet gentle wife and companion of mine, you have been a jewel and I want to reward you by letting you use my credit cards and you can buy anything you want!!! Your wish is my command!!! You guys have a wonderful week!
