Ireland 2009 pg 103


I went of Ok to the Irish Mass this AM but not many there but the old folk and the young who have been forced to learntheGaelic in shcool are not interested in either the deValera plan to save the speech or the message of the Spirit.

No Church perks out to them.
The Church needs to modify much of its middle age reasoning to reach them and talk about life not death.

The young are interssted in living not dying on some cross to save mankind.
Nor are they interested in fish style reproduction with all thelittel fry sent on the clouds to be immediately eaten by the larger fish and passing preditory birds.

10 children In Ireland are definatly OUT OUT OUT!
Male and female alike.

He will disapear into a more sexually safe contry . Or claim the prosoperous woman sas a better mate and she will simply lay the poor babe out on the neighbors family or church to go on her way to making another unwanted unloved and uncared for with a new and hopelfully more reliable man.

The young also want no part of mumbling memorized prayers over and over. They seek subsatance and understanding.

As I tried to follow some of the Irish reading and I can now read it world by word not jiberish even though I do not know the meaning of the sentance Words are now familir and some have meaning for me.

My mind remembers them however in a complete symbol for Agus is to me just that.
In Irish speech it is not regonizeable as Agus but some slirred diction of maybe half a world not recognisable to the reader.

The Irish do slur their words. Abriviate them and run them together in both languages.
They are lazy speakers as well as being verbose and colorful in developing a point.
What is written in clear symbols is not spoken in clear pronounciation of those symbols.
However the Irish used by the Fransican Church is a readable form of Irish devoid of thousands of influxive 'h's dropped in the middle and the end and the beginning of every word like Cara being Chara a friend is a friend only if you can read it as such.

And when a ca ,ka becomes ch, sha who know were such a word of 4 symbols can end with the baggage of pronunciation. Guess.
Qu is aslo ca or Ke or in last Leitrim Irish KEY we now have Loch Key not the old Loch Ce
Annals and so the Quay becomes the Key to unlock the door of Mabh or was it Maba.

It was good the Ma old Irissh is mcuh more valuable than the modern irish being taught inthe Irish schools with all its deflection and declension and grammer rules and several meanings
Spelling changes of 6 tences or more.
Ata it is Ba it was.
Great simple words uncongagated verbs to go with a simple name and Viola we have Communication good enough toget us thrown out of the Casiddy
Clann .
The maybe modern Irish .

It would be good if Irish could be included some of the language courses of the US students without the grammer, the phrase translation, and the bothar Bui and the Toim a place along the railline.

Maps of them is place run along the N road covered and Long Port of the English becomes Long Fort of the Irish.
This fort at the port but there is no Loch at Long Fort to create a ce or a quay or a dock or a port.
It is perhaps the little canal going out there from Dublin Grand Canal or for the Erne/ Shannon locks and these are the steel black and white painted loch bars out there to prove the lochs did exist.
Just as they still raise and lower the water at Panama and Port Weller in Canada.

The Canal and the waterways are a great way for some to explore Iresland not in a kyak but a house raft like Tom Sawyer and Jim had.
Ireland the mighty myth to for this canal is the east to the Shannon eastuary water to Devinish island or soeth to Limerck or perhaps even west to Galway town.

The packers are out in Meath and West Meath walking the fields.
Sitting in the fields talking.
I dont know if with or without Irish guides.

They have the freedom of Ireland in there young feet with the light backpacks of a zippered jacket for wind. ATM card ,Passport
A cell phone and a money bag 3 pocketed for this jacket and a few clean shirts and sox and perhaps a rain jacket.
They are international.

The rest of us lumber round with purses and shoulder bags and train tickets and luggage and accomidation needs , or friend to take up up river away in their craft half not bearing any flag at all and a half with a well worn torn and faded tricolor.
The checkered thing above.
