children of ireland -- leanaí na hÉireann -- Cliffs of Moher

 

my mom / myself at the Cliffs of Moher with a bad camera, 1994

 

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

 

(traditional gaelic blessing)

 

Wishing all of you a Happy St. Patrick's Day...
