Loving the ways of the universe

Sunset in Muckinish
Sunset in Muckinish

This evening while pottering around my apartment I stopped to take in a rather beautiful sunset. As I often do at this point, I thought about home on the west coast in Clare where I’ve seen some of the most breathtaking sunsets over distant Connemara & the Atlantic. Just as I was daydreaming my phone beeped. A message from my dad – no words, just that photo. I smiled & shed a little tear. 

This kind of thing happens me quite a bit & I love it. Seeing a poster for a band & next thing you know they pop up on a random shuffle playlist on your iPod. Walking down a street thinking about someone & you suddenly bump into them.

I’m convinced it’s the universe putting things together, somehow linking up & sorting through the thoughts & energies, ebbs & flows of life. I love it. And I love my dad. Long may it continue :)

In the meme time.

I spotted this via Rick‘s blog last week & toyed with the idea of entertaining it. It won.

Here are the rules:

1) Put the link of the person who tagged you on your blog. [nobody, just got tired of waiting...does this break the memeness? sorry if it does! >:) ]
2) Write the rules.
3) Mention 6 things or habits of no real importance about you.
4) Tag 6 persons adding their links directly.
5) Alert the persons that you tagged them.

So here we go:

1. I have fallen arches & thus I wear odd insole things in most of my shoes.

2. I wanted to be a botanist for most of my 14th year.

3. I’m convinced I was born later than I was supposed to, roughly about 5-8 years too late.

4. I suffer from some weird vertigo or something that makes going up/down more than one flight of stairs frightening & I break a sweat in terror.

5. I used to be good at sean nós singing, like have medals n plaques n stuff. You can stop laughing now.

6. I chew the inside of my mouth & wish I would stop.
