		<description><![CDATA[Kinsale is a beautiful port city with narrow winding streets, colorful little shops and a host of rebel bohemians.  My kind of town.  I explore the early morning, when the streets are empty, my preferred time to feel the pulse of place.  The natural rhythm in Ireland is one that mirrors my own.  Work is [...]]]></description>

		<title>the holy places</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not far out of Kenmare on the way to Glengariff is an amazing archeological site. Bonane heritage park is a veritable trove of historical significance. Within its small boundary lies one of the largest stone circles in Western Ireland as well as a fulacht fiadhl, or &#8220;burnt mound,&#8221; a horseshoe shaped outdoor cooking area.  There [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Gleninchaquin Park is a short drive from Kenmare.  It is a privately owned and working ranch that has been opened to the public, the Inchaqin waterfall is the most striking feature that can be seen for miles.  The neolithic Uragh stone circle is nearby.  I take a walking trail that begins in a sheeps [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stone man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Dingle Peninsula is breathtaking, and the day is brilliant!  I sleep soundly at the Castlewood, an immaculately kept guesthouse. The Irish are consummate and instinctual host&#8217;s. Your pleasure and comfort take precedence over all else. While attentive, they are sensitive to your privacy appearing only when you require something. I feel entirely nurtured.  The only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Coili and I outside of his Pub in Galway City
I spend three days in Galway, home to traditional Irish music, a celebratory bohemian lifestyle, and an influx of immigrants.  It is a walking city and I gladly explore it on foot.  This is an ancient city with a rich and colorful history.  Though I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I sit at the Heuston train station in Dublin.  I wait for the 2:30 train to Galway.  As it is with traveling, the unexpected is my most intimate and interesting companion.  A blizzard in Chicago has delayed my departure in Denver by more than two hours, my connecting flight to Dublin will be air bound [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Resurrection of Ireland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought a one-way ticket to Dublin last summer, consciously disempowering my penniless pocket.  In the world of the sane, that was not.  I do not excel at defining what is possible by rational.  Limitations have always seemed illusory to me.  I have been admonished my entire existence by people who [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 the year of the milagros</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I drive highway 285.  I head west.  A triple shot latte, perfectly poured fuels my drive.  The sun reflects on the snow, a blanket of splintered diamonds.  The road snakes through the canyon, inducing a meditative state of being.  Follow the road, follow the breath.  My mind begins to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Libertas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Latin word for the Roman goddess of liberty and freedom is Liberas.  She is in fact the inspiration for the statue of liberty, an effigy of the goddess Isis.  I remember the trembling I felt in my body when I first laid eyes on her this summer. I was floating down the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The north wind blows&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A student of mine yesterday told me that whenever she thinks of me, in her mind, my name is Faith.  How perfect, that in someone else&#8217;s internal world I am synonymous with faith! This is exactly what has returned to my patient and awaiting heart, faith. It was as if the Gods were confirming that [...]]]></description>
