June 21, 2024 Bliss, Light and Beauty on Tory Island
I came out here for midsummer to practise some Irish. But there's also something amazing about the ancient monastic tradition that was once here on the Island, and that led me to make a little meditation on how Buddhist thought and Christian thought come from the same single heart of compassion. I hope you enjoy. I enjoyed Tory.

June 07, 2024 The Bridegroom and the Wine
Lovely story I heard during the week about a Jewish wedding tradition. And then I was thinking of two icons that can help during times of war and destruction. One is the icon of the Bridegroom. Find it. And spend time with it. And the other is the Turin Shroud. Astonishing image. Forget if it's authentic or not. Someone made it. And it is the most amazing and serene icon of the dead Christ. This is a must. Don't lose your balance during times of troubles. Know that Christ descends into hell. And light will emerge from darkness. Blessings and have a great weekend.

May 31, 2024 The General in Fanad, and loneliness on the beach
This is the beginning of June, so much to say about the beach, and how to drink wine. Every Wednesday in the Irish Times at the moment, so I have a column in here too at the beginning. Hope you enjoy.

May 17, 2024 Me and You and a Fly
ok. So it was a lovely day in May. And a fly came in as I was about to begin the podcast. And so I went off on a different track. But I hope you like it. IT's all about Grace, and that's not an easy thing to talk about. So let's see if this works.

April 19, 2024 The Upper Room
I'm enjoying working on these mediations in the days after easter, and will be walking the camino from Tui to Santiago between April 27 and May 5. What does it mean that I am here. What does it mean that you are here. What does it mean if the clock ticks or doesn't tick.
Let's explore that today. My walk on the Camino will coincide with the Orthodox period of Holy Week. Looking forward to it. Might send you random dispatches on the road.

March 29, 2024 Good Friday
This is a day we carry with us. We can enter this moment at anytime of the day or season. Good Friday is a psychic space. And the core of it is Holy Thursday. Holy Thursday is a ritual that presents us with the architecture of heaven. The full realisation of divine light in a single moment, a single tiny ritual. That's the floor and ground of Good Friday. Taken together they are a marking of exquisite human truth and beauty. Use it like a well that we can return to again and again, especially in times of sorrow.

March 22, 2024 Follow your heart. And trust the young

First there was the story of how I became a writer. And then the story of why I became a full time writer. And who were some of the people who really helped and changed my life by having confidence in me.
I didn’t believe I could even be a writer, so it’s amazing that I’m now in my 409th year of full time writing and still surviving.

But talking about how these two people changed my life by having confidence3 in me brought me to think of young people nowadays and
I just wanted to add something about young people. To say how I believe in them. How praising them works, even if they’re not quite doing what you want them to do. It’s. A matter of trusting in the future, that all will be well. And that is very like trusting in god.

March 15, 2024 The Rosary - Yep, I think it needs a mention.
This could be the worst or best podcast I have ever done. I don’t know. Because it’s almost impossible to talk about this mystery of prayer. What is it. What is happening in prayer. Why is it different from meditation.
And yet for some reason I wanted to share this today. Maybe because I heard a story about Daniel O Donnell giving a rosary beads to Charlie Bird at the late late show. It was Daniel told it on radio during the week. And it just got me all excited about the Rosary and I thought I’d like to share my muddled thoughts with you.
So if it makes any sense to you that’s grand. And if not, don’t worry and be assured I’ll be onto more concrete territory next week. Next week I’ll be talking about Blindboy and Lough Derg.
One way or another thank you once again for being here, for being present, and have a special Patrick’s Day.

March 08, 2024 Childhood Dreams and Trauma
Was at an amazing event, a beautiful evening last night, about mental well being and just wanted to share it. And I was in the middle of writing a piece about a man who had a great influence on me when I was young. so this morning I put both together to make this podcast which I'm very very happy to share with you.
