You pen well the longing of many of us. There's a bit of Irish in all, if only after reading this delightful yearning to see the Green Island and its people. Thank you. - Bill
ireland is such an evocative isle, so beautiful and green, its hills and mountains just cry out, 'mystery'! a mystery just waiting to be explored...have fun!
These gorgeous lines on IRELAND gives one a moving sense of being there already. They are truly beautiful in their acknowledgement of the history of the country, its culture, and its people's dynamic collective soul.
