Tree of Life

Passed over this Welsh delta today on my way home from a quick trip away... reminds me of how are lives are interlinked....
Met a few mountain men from Tipperary while we were away who cross examined me on my mother's kith and kin and how I fitted into their lives...and it's funny how I felt the need to force them to accept a Dubliner like me as one of their own despite their reticence ... I carried my mother's coffin into the church when she died along with my family and friends and, at my request, all Tipperary men carried her out.... One of the men played hurling with my cousin for the parish. My cousin's son is the county goalkeeper. I eventually won them over... I think..... We are a global village and are so interlinked... It is difficult to acquire a new friend on FB who is not already connected to me already in some way....... I love it though.... just saying....
