We are wandering close to the edge of our future. While the International Monetary Fund pack their bags we in Ireland are left with much unfinished business. My usually upbeat tribe of creatives are struggling to stay grounded. Looking for direction, going up blind alleys, flying kites.
There are flashes of brilliance. No shortage of creativity. No lack of purpose.
What do we do now? How can we nurture the new seeds we are planting in such unfertile ground? How can we move forward with a “lost decade” in tow?
It’s dark November and time to begin the hibernation. More questions than answers as usual.
But will all be well? We will have to do a lot more than just keep our fingers crossed.

All will be well!
Your Irish sunset looks like my Bavarian sunset tonight – such illuminated clouds can only be auspicious.

Catherine, I love your poetic questioning. It's real and authentic. Who of us knows for sure? These are strange times. Susan in Portland,, Oregon.

Those sunsets ask more questions than provide answers. I guess none of us has a crystal ball thru which to know the future. Beautiful late autumn skies!!
Mairéad says
Sadly it's a familiar story for so many generations of Irish people but we have to keep hope in our hearts,
Love those sunsets.

Catherine those clouds seem to show some bright spots in the dark skies….hoping we can find our way from the gray to the bright colorful light soon.

Such a joy to catch up with the abundant visual feast that is your blog. And I rather like winter's time of hibernation, it can feel quite fertile. But clearly not to you this year. Take heart my friend x

Be hopeful.
