Welcome to Crann na beatha Short Stories and Poetry for Feb. 9th, 2024

I am Terrance Ó Domhnaill, your Irish scéalaí. Welcome once again. Take a little time out in your busy day to listen to some more stories and poems from Medium.com writers.

I have a one of my own seasonal poems and three story chapters for you this week. The second chapter from the science fiction serial story we started last week, a new story with more to come in the following weeks, and Robert G. Longpré’s eleventh chapter from Sanctuary.

So come in, sit down for a bit and listen to what I found for you. Just a reminder that I have a small advert after the readings, before I close out the show. Please stick around to learn how to support my work a little. Thank you.

Here are the selections for this week. Please reward the writers for their work if you decide to read them. I know they would all greatly appreciate the support.

Go raibh maith agat. Thank you for listening to the show today. I hope you enjoyed the variety of stories and poems again this week. Maybe one of them might touch your heart a little.

Please return again next week for another episode of Crann na Beatha Stories and Poetry.

As a Seanchaí, I want to continue to delight you with a story or a poem that may bring you a smile or make you think a little after we part for the day.

As I say good bye this week, I wish to leave you with this Irish blessing as you go about your day. “Long-life and fair health to you — Saol fada agus breac-sláinte chugat.” “Slán go fóill — goodbye for now”.

T. Ó Domhnaill — Gaelic Seanchaí
