perfect, crow.

and how smart of your mother...just think, blackberries, the beginning of fall, a compensation for the end of summer...but hold the best back for Christmas! And give hand written recipes...this is very wise! Such a handing down...and directly and carefully from her mother.

I may think about making some blackberry wine next fall...

And this made me think of my legacy as well, in a new light.

Thank you.

HEALEY: Well, we have one consolation, Regan,
the condemned man gets the priest and the
sacraments, more than his victim got maybe. I venture
to suggest that some of them die holier deaths
than if they had finished their natural span.

WARDER REGEN: We can't advertise 'Commit a murder
and die a happy death',sir. We'd have them all at it.
They take their religion very seriously in this country.

'Cù Chulainn'

Acht chena is álainn cech nderg
is gel cach nua
is caín cech n-ard,
is serb cech ngnáth
cáid cech n-écmais,
is faill cech n-aichnid
co fester cech n-éolas.


But indeed everything red is beautiful,
everything new is bright,
everything unattainable is lovely
everything familar is bitter,
everything absent is perfect,
everything known is neglected,
until all knowledge is known.
9th Century-Anon.

Téora seithir góa: bés, dóig, toimte!
Three sisters of lying: perhaps, maybe, guess!

Three smiles that are worse than grief

Trí gena ata messa brón:
gen snechtai oc legad,
gen mná fritt iar feis la fer n-aile,
gen con foilmnich.

Three smiles that are worse than grief:
the smile of snow melting,
the smile of your wife after sleeping with another man,
the smile of a leaping dog.
