Caol Áit

Having returned from a long summer ride, Papa Rod ponders faith and belief, and confusion and conviction, and knowledge and pride.

Visiting memories of loss and blessings, and anticipating the future on the smell of fresh-cut grass.

An abrupt interruption of life might teach us that the only things we can control are our responses to the things we can't control.

How does one process grief in the specifics of a broken world?

When a glimmer pierces the darkness, one does well to bask in the light.

Pondering experiencing things with multiple senses.

Perceiving, processing, and interpreting challenging things in our lives.  

Papa Rod observes the cruelty in world, but remembers the promise of the future.  

Papa Rod recounts his week, and ponders the art of moving forward despite obstacles and setbacks.  

Papa Rod ponders the passing of a formative character.
