Living on the inside we wake up, and living on the outside is like a dream. Stories are what we embody, and there are some people who are masters of storytelling. It's all blended in this podcast, which I also recorded in video and hopefully will publish at a later date.

But mostly what excites me today is that it is spring. It has come. It's here. Growth. Life. Hope. 

And Holy Saint Brigid.

Be blessed. And have a great weekend.

A definition of shared faith. We're all loved. We're all right. We're all on the one road. The creed is a tai chi dance; it's not a collection of ideas. it's a necklace of mantras to shake the bones with joy.

I love the bell. I have a Tibetan bell in the room. I use it. a Chime comes out of it. A tingle that is so beautiful and it draws me into eternity.

This is the third of three podcasts for Nollaig na mBan. And here is something extra special and personal. I'm sharing something about how I get through this part of the winter, and how I use both Christian and Buddhist faith to hold myself together. Christmas is the transformation of the universe and it can happen in me. That's where I begin, on Nollaig na mBan. But then in the buddhist bodhisattva dedication prayer I find a path towards action.

I go for refuge to the Buddha, The Dharma, The Sanga, until I am enlightened; and by the positive potential that I create by practising generosity and other far reaching attitudes, my I attain buddhahood not just for myself but in order to benefit other sentient beings.

Well you know it's only therapy if it works for you. And it's as simple as learning to sing. So happy new year. Soon we will get across the desert of January with wonderful surprises and find sustenance at the well of Brigid.

Just a spontaneous podcast as an extra for Nollaig na mBan. I got talking about a song, and that led me to the piper in the song and that led me to history, oppression, bardic poetry and the suppression of joy by the clergy. I know, I was rambling. But by the end of it I saw that I had a good shape of how to write a play. And glad to share it with you.

I wanted to do something quiet and sleepy for these days in-between Christmas and New year, so I chose a meditation on Angels. It's a memory that I shared on Sunday Miscellaney for today. You'll get the recording on the RTE programme for this morning. But in this podcast I tried to delve deeper into the possibility of Angelic presence in my life. And in your life. It's a particularly lovely subject to reflect on at this time of change after the Solstice. The light in your life. The light in the sky. The light in a room in the morning. The light of angels. Thank you for being here, and looking forward to sharing January meditations and stories with you.

I"m so happy that we're only 11 days from Christmas, and I'll be reflecting joyfully on this wonderful time for the next few weeks. On me own in the room with the electric fire going and you there beside me. Relax and enjoy.
