THE ART OF DEVELOPING A BEAUTIFUL MIND

The world is not simply there. Everything and everyone we see, we view through the lenses of our thoughts. Your mind is where your thoughts arise and form. It is not simply with your eyes but with your mind that you see the world. So much depends on your mind: How you see yourself, who you think you are, how you see others, what you think the meaning of life is, how you see death, belief, God, darkness. Beauty is all determined by the style of mind you have.

Your mind is your greatest treasure. We become so taken up with the world, with having and doing more and more, we come to ignore who we are and forget what we see the world with. The most powerful way to change your life is to change your mind.

When you beautify your mind, you beautify your world. You learn to see differently. In what seemed like dead situations, secret possibilities and invitations begin to open before you. In old suffering that held you long paralyzed, you find new keys. When your mind awakens, your life comes alive and the creative adventure of your soul takes off. Passion and compassion become your new companions.

2 days - 1 post

I'm combining 2 days activities into 1 post because I'm really not doing that many AMAZING things. Yesterday I went down memory lane by driving down along the coast to Fanore. I rented the most lovely cottage there in April 2018. I have lovely memories there. Because it was a bank holiday weekend, there were plenty of people enjoying the long weekend with reasonably balmy weather.

The drive from Ballyvaughan along the Wild Atlantic Way is just breathtaking with Galway Bay on your right giving way to the Atlanta at Black Head. The Burren mountains rise up along the road to the left. Below you see the Aran Islands in the distance.

Fanore Beach, is an unlikely sandy beach on the Atlantic. Many families were swimming (water temp 50 degrees, air temp 55 degrees), playing in the sand and walking their dogs.

A short drive up the Caher Valley alongside the Caher River (only above ground river in the Burren) I parked my car alongside the road and took the trail up. This video cannot do justice to the view, the peace, the spiritual calmness that I feel in this place. This website won't let me upload videos, but if you check out my story on Instagram I posted an amazing video of this spot.

When I was last here, I didn't venture far from where we were, but I have been quite the rambling Gram this time around. I took a road not knowing where it would end up and had a delightful circuitous journey home because of it. Lovely farmsteads along the way. The one good thing about this area in Ireland, most small country lanes end up at a main road eventually!!!

I returned home in time to join a Poetry Walk along the Flaggy Shore led by Brid from the Linalla Ice Cream Shop and Cafe. She led 6 of us on a lovely walk along the Flaggy Shore on the most gorgeous evening! Sun setting in the west as we ambled along hearing her read Yates, Shaw, Heaney and other poets who came to this shore and wrote about its beauty. By the time we had finished we had all bonded so well, we met up for dinner at Lindane's across the road. With the Irish music playing in the background during dinner, I felt as though i was now a local.

A new piece of history I learned last night was that this house, Mt. Vernon, home to Lady Gregory who hosted many of these poets and was instrumental in the Irish Literary Revival, used Mt. Vernon as her summer home. It was built in the late 18th Century and was named Mt. Vernon because the architect was the same as the one who built the White House, although i could not find that as fact. The story goes that the tall trees to the left of the house were supposedly a gift from George Washington. Maybe I shall do some historical digging when I get home at Mt. Vernon Historical Society.

Brid took this picture with her husband with the ladies. He didn't go along on the tour, but did get us off to a lovely start by singing a song about the Galway Hookers. This traditional sailboat measured between 35-40 feet and were particularly well suited for the rough Irish seas. These boats were used to carry turf to be used as fuel across Galway Bay from Connemara and County Mayo to the Aran Islands and the Burren. The boats often brought limestone on the return journeys, to neutralise the acid soils of Connemara and Mayo.

This morning the sun was out in full splendor. I enjoyed my coffee outside listening to the village begin waking up. Today was so lovely I wanted to do a walk so I drove to Carran, about 30 minutes away. It's a small village that has a walk called Templecronan Loop. It was part roadway, part walking path, and part field walking. Just over 3 miles I sauntered along enjoying the day, listening to the birds, speaking with the cows, horses, and a friendly dog I met along the way. Wildflowers are blooming everywhere - wild orchids, HUGE dandelions, wild daisies, gentian.

I came upon another abandoned church, Temple Cronin (12thC), which was part of a monastic community. It also had a holy well nearby. No matter where you go, there are ruins everywhere of old homes left during famine times, abandoned monastic communities and churches from times of persecution. They are all protected historical sites, but not maintained by anyone.

I'm getting very acclimated wandering around these country roads that I'm beginning to know where I am and how to get home. Irish roads are well marked. Those with an M or R in front of them are pretty much 2 lane roads, but I've been traveling on the L roads that are no more than a one lane road quite similar to Cumberstone Road to Gram's Camp. You can't drive fast and have to pull over when a car comes from the opposite direction.

harry, i love u. (part 1)

but more to the point, i love my harriatrics.

i am home, emotionally exhausted, physically ill, and still awaiting my delayed luggage to be delivered, but here is my slane and wembley 1+2+3 review.

i spent a few days roaming around counties clare and galway prior to linking up with the ladies in dublin for slane. straight off the plane i hired a car and drove to the west. i needed to kill some more time before checking into my airbnb so i hit the cliffs of moher (again) because it was SUNNY and DRY. it turns out, the west is/was in a drought. dust everywhere.

my airbnb this time around was in fanore. perfect for one person and a nice location for what i like to do. my next day i took the doolin ferry to inishmore and rented an e-bike. rode around the island, had a lovely lunch of a salad and a coke, and hiked up to dun aonghase where it was WINDY and i almost lost my tourist hat but i have catlike reflexes. view from the fort:

aran goat cheese salad:

kilmurvey beach, where i did not get in but will next time for sure:

on my final full day, i went to the doolin cave to see the third-largest stalactite in the world. the scale is hard to convey in a picture:

it was really cool! literally and figuratively. also a pleasant 95% humidity which i needed because it was SO DRY the whole time i was there.

on saturday morning i lit out from the west and dropped my car off at the airport, then got a taxi to the hotel to meet up for the rest of my harries for breakfast. @papiermachecat did a great job of summarizing that except she left me out, which i'm not bitter about at all. lol.

marathon did a great job of organizing all of us to get to and from slane. here is an employee manning the coach pickup:

here's mitch opening!

annie mac in the "rain"!

wet leg!

inhaler!

and our boy!

it's hard to convey the size of the crowd. i took some pictures, but i'm sure you've seen overhead shots that are much better. knowing about the historical nature of slane shows ... i'm so glad i got to be there with some of my very best fandom friends. also, much like the men of easy company would say, "at least it's not bastogne" whenever they had a cold winter, after every trek home post-show we can all say "at least it's not slane."

the day after the show, @chasm2018, @aggresivelyfriendly, and i walked around dublin. we had dinner at the bank which was cool, and i got some very good fish and chips:

dublin put on a show for us, sunny and warm:

we tried to find ice cream and failed:

but eventually ended up at instagrammable cloud nine and it was very good, will try the gelato in july. no pics, because ice cream.

one environmentally regrettable thing about the impact of the 2021 grammy outfit are the molting boas. here is the day-after shot of where the coaches let us off in dublin:

after a final breakfast at our hotel (my eggs florentine below), we took a (delayed) flight to london.

my relationship with london is .... like yes, there are cool old buildings but i hate the monarchy? the one thing i wanted to do in london besides see harry was go to the british museum, which we did on our off-day. anyway. @chasm2018 and i stayed at an airbnb in fitzrovia. we had a late lunch/early dinner at wahaca (yes i know) which was surprisingly good! the rainbow bowl:

(i took a lot of food pictures for my dad and sisters, so this is what you get too i guess.)

me in front of wembley!

wembley 1 saw us in bishopsgate, which was a much smaller pod than at slane. @chasm2018 and i helped to remove an interloper (some guy who was being obnoxious and bragging about sneaking into the pod who didn't end up having a ticket at all?). look don't brag about sneaking in AND be obnoxious.

harry was incredible, of course, and when i have the energy to go through the pictures on my camera (this is ALL from my phone) i will share those with you.

london was done up for pride month:

on wednesday, @chasm2018 and i got bottomless chai (chocolate chai pictured) at dishoom and gorged on indian food.

also apparently that night (or the next? idk) my platonic baseball soulmate spent 3 hours behind olivia in line for that restaurant. she was offered a pass to go to the front of the line but refused it! what a woman.

idk what this was but it looked neat and that far building looks suspiciously like the dorm in maynooth that looks like a prison on the inside.

for wednesday's show i had seats with my friend from the leadership conference i do in ireland, so i entered separately and hanging out by the red zone was this guy

our boy was ALSO great during night 2, from the seats:

he played love of my life and i just love YELLING that at him!!!! from the seats I got a better idea of just how fucking massive the crowd is, and how full of love the stadium is when he plays. more of that later.

post-show activities included leftover indian (wow was it spicier) and harry talking to zane lowe about absolutely nothing.

thursday we had afternoon tea at the savoy (fucking delicious) with @accidentalharrie and went to the british museum to see things stolen from other places. this included THE rosetta stone (wild) and bits of the parthenon.

i really do love a greek vase!!! they can be so funny, like this one with drunk satyrs:

on the reverse is a .... kylix-stand?

she!

by friday, the hay fever had put me into quite a state. i was a bit of a drag!! we walked around the tower of london and westminster abbey. goddddddd i hate tourists so much.

here's white tower, the oldest bit of the tower of london, built by william the conqueror. my 27th great grandfather invaded england with william, so we're like family. lol.

notice not a cloud in the sky. so much sun and no rain which means .... every bit of pollen was in the air, wreaking havoc.

and i'm out of room for photos, so hang on for part 2.

#slane review #wembley reviews #my show #obvs i'm being hyperbolic by comparing bastogne to slane
