What I heard in this Psalm today wasn’t just a screed against the wealth but a message about what is most important - how we treat others, how we show love, how we live empathy. And I saw that in the stunningly beautiful vision statement we read at St Anne’s Church today here in Cork.
I've lived long enough to see first hand how wealth can make one trip and fall flat on their face at best. We simply don't need an abundance of money to help us live happily and without physical need. I don't think there is enough said about that at any venue. We need to learn to cherish things that are old and handed down from generation to generation. With that kind of awareness we naturally will take care of what we own in the present and how it might be cherished by someone in the future. Once you get used to having what you want it is really difficult to walk backwards. I don't know anyone who was or is capable of doing that unless they are forced by an unwelcome downturn in our life.
Thank you for taking us along on your trip! The Cliffs of Moher are spectacular, (seen from one of the boat tours is a great vantage point too!) but the Kilkee Cliffs in the sweet seaside town of Kilkee are "meanderable." Not quite so soaring, yet awe inspiring in a different way. Inch Beach on Dingle Peninsula is dear to my heart! 😊☘️

When I saw your message earlier today we were literally driving past Inch Beach!
I love reading about your travels and how you are experiencing things. Is your daughter enjoying Uni in Ireland?
So far so good!
