The human experience is not a shallow sea 
but a deep ocean of possibilities!

Saint Patrick
(Latin: Patricius;
Irish: Pádraig [ˈpˠaːd̪ˠɾˠəɟ]) was a fifth-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the "Apostle of Ireland", he is the primary patron saint of Ireland, along with saints Brigit of Kildare and Columba. He is also venerated in the Anglican Communion, the Old Catholic Church and in the Eastern Orthodox Church as equal-to-apostles and the Enlightener of Ireland.^[2]

The dates of Patrick's life cannot be fixed with certainty but there is broad agreement that he was active as a missionary in Ireland during the second half of the 5th century. Early medieval tradition credits him with being the first bishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland, and they regard him as the founder of Christianity in Ireland, converting a society practising a form of Celtic polytheism. He has been generally so regarded ever since, despite evidence of some earlier Christian presence in Ireland.

According to the Confessio of Patrick, when he was about 16, he was captured by Irish pirates from his home in Britain, and taken as a slave to Ireland, looking after animals, where he lived for six years before escaping and returning to his family. After becoming a cleric, he returned to northern and western Ireland. In later life, he served as a bishop, but little is known about the places where he worked. By the seventh century, he had already come to be revered as the patron saint of Ireland.

Saint Patrick's Day is observed on 17 March, the supposed date of his death. It is celebrated inside and outside Ireland as a religious and cultural holiday. In the dioceses of Ireland, it is both a solemnity and a holy day of obligation; it is also a celebration of Ireland itself.

The Rays and Edges of Heaven: A poem

Sunbeams and moonbeams,

gold-linings and silver-linings,

the rays and the edges of heaven.

The Morning After

Wow, I feel winter setting in...burn the coal, spray the weeds, and disturb the terra ferma below the bedrock with potent chemicals. You think the water tastes terrible now, you haven't tasted or seen anything yet. Forget about clean air...goodie more money for the pharmaceuticals for asthmatics. "Can I get in on that?" asked the senator...representative...lobbyist." "No, wait until I do the 'Health Care Deal.' I am talking BIG money!"

This reminds me of the drunk uncle at the holidays, when he has awoken from his rampaging stupor and surveys the damage...opps too late for all of the family and neighbors. This hangover is going to be a doozy!

It's going to be a bumpy ride!

Thank you for your participation!

Now hold hands and sing Kumbaya, that is an order!
