Not having cell service, listening to leaves rustle in the wind and watching waves crash on the shore are all very grounding for me.

The love Irish people have for their sport resonated with me. The passion they talk about it with is the same tone I would use for my favorite lacrosse team.

These words appear almost too fantastical to be true. A world where everyone looks to the interests and welfare of others? Impossible. Today, record rates of loneliness, depression, starvation and displaced people are symptoms of a world that does not look to the interests of others.
