Home to Ireland

I looked down upon Ireland while the plane was making it's way towards England. It was early morning and Ireland was waking up...a green jewel surrounded by a blue sea. My heart felt a tug and love of a place I had never walked upon.....My grandmothers folks before me came from Ireland, the Burns, the Keenan's and the Price's. I pushed my nose to the little window and yearned to be walking down there on that hill I could see below me.  I wished to breath in the sweet fresh morning air...Oh maybe if I could take a step back into time and hear their lilting laughter and listen to the pipe and the drum...and smell the stew and bread baking...
and be "home" in Ireland.... If only.

    I too have looked down upon the green jewel of Ireland many times as I have been traveling to other European destinations; and, like you, have not yet visited the home of one of my great grandfathers. I do LOVE Irish music and my iPod is filled with it - must be in my genes, don't you think?! Cassandra ♥
