My stories in the past decade tend towards memoir, and I try to create stories from experiences that were healing, if not miraculous. In fact I think life is a miracle. which is another way of saying I believe in metaphors. and there could be no poetry if it were not for the metaphors. 

So here's a little reflection on storytelling and it contains a short reading from a book I wrote many years ago called Priest. I hope you enjoy it.  I was out walking this morning, August 14 on the beach at Carrickfinn and it came to me that I should about the Mammy, and the great Mother and the way she is everywhere sometimes, even in the blue of the ocean. And then I thought I'd add this little reflection on where I get stories and how I try to find something beautiful in the sky nowadays.
