Welcome to Crann na beatha Short Stories and Poetry for Jan. 12th, 2024
I will keep this short this week as I have a houseful of children and grandchldren to take care of. Come in, sit down by the fire and get warm for a wee bit while I read a some stories and poems for you.
I have three short stories and a poem for you this week. The poem is about children and how they grow up so fast, there is one fantasy story, another about relationships and dating, and Robert G. Longpré’s seventh chapter from Sanctuary.
I am working on changing the format around a little bit in a week or two to keep things from going stale. No one likes to listen to the same ‘ole thing every week. Nothing drastic but something for a change of pace.
So while we are trying to stay warm right now with all of the storms rolling across the nothern hemisphere, let me give you the links to the stories and poem I brought you.
And grow like weeds toward the sky

I hope I have achieved my goal in helping you feel like we've been sitting under the Tree of Life together. 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. "Bless you and yours, as well as the cottage you live in. May the roof overhead be well thatched, and those inside be well matched." Slán go fóill - which means goodbye for now in Irish.
