Thank you for visiting, that is so good to hear, that the crossroad dances have been allowed to come back. I was born in County Cork, so that is great news.

Just wanted to let you know that outside of Mallow, Co. Cork they do Crossroads dancing in the middle of nowhere (Laharn Cross). Many people still show up on a Sunday evening where they have made a dance floor of wood near a field. At the end they pass a hat around for donations to pay the musicans that show up.
It’s well worth seeing.

Comment on Gypsy Mother by Forrest EVans

There is a movie that purports to be of a time when all women are no longer allowed to be pregnant, but one pregnant woman is protected and gives birth, it’s a beautiful movie.
The poem is beautiful, if a wee bit sad…
True, human society seems a poor place to bring up a child, pure and freshly minted from the Source.
Somewhere in the art and beauty of the Great Mystery, there is a thread of revolutionary beauty.
Deep in the sadness is the laughter of a child.
The madness, the greed and cruelty surround us…
and yet there is a story, a myth of freedom and love that still captures my attention in random moments.
My own actions fall short.
We are flawed and fragile, wounded survivors of centuries of selfish craziness.
Yet in accepting all of this and all of us just as we are, there is the key of love that may yet unlock human potential, and Lemuria would then be

no longer a dream
but a way of daily life.

how insightful – strays who joined because they needed to belong – ignoring borders – many peoples, many roads, always travelling on – there is a rhythm to the poem, perhaps a traveller’s ealking beat?

I wonder what the gypsy cobbs & their trainers would think of the Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales, in America, which are pampered in temperature-regulated stables, only harnessed for a few shows & photo shoots a year?

Ah, I love this image and the words you shaped to go w ith it! I am a blacksmith’s daughter – my nom de plume is “kvwordsmith” – I know all about striking when the iron is hot & what hot, sweaty labor good writing can be! My son drew me a logo of an anvil, hammer, and vowel-sparks being raised. “The poet’s mighty strokes” – words of power indeed!
