Loved your brother’s poem!
Thanks June!
Wonderful. So glad he can now see and enjoy the wonders of an earth renewed..
I wept when I read it, for this was a new side to my brother and it has filled me with hope!
This poetry moved me..for a moment I swear I could hear the tumble of the brook and the birdsong…just wonderful..
Thanks Marjorie…Felim has been touched by Mother Earth and has given her a voice X
A beautiful tribute to the earth and it’s bounty and to a sister. You must be so very touched. Such a talented brother. Sue

Your brother has captured the essence of what you have done. Put to word it is exquisive.

My heart is, and always has been in tune with the work you do Nicole…today I sob, my heart heaves and the tears run free, as your brother’s poem so beautifully sings the song of our Mother. Thank you both 🙂

A story of restoration … and love. Thank you to Colette and her brother Felim for sharing Bealtaine Cottage through this beautiful poem!
Colette, what a lovely and heartfelt poem. It brought tears to my eyes. I think it must have been very special for you because it is from your brother and to see him “get it” must have been very moving for you. Truly lovely, these little moments that touch us. Blessings xxx
Thanks Terri, it is indeed…and by the way, I was mindful of you just recently…sending love and blessings X
What a lovely poem. What an honor your brother has bestowed on you, and what a gift he has given all of us who also love Mother Earth the world over.
That’s lovely…thanks X
An open heart was sated by Mother Earth and a loving sister in just two days. How lovely.
Blessings X
Bravo, Felim. Well said.
Thanks X
The Irish have never been at loss for words, and Felim proves it. 🙂
You made me laugh! X
What true and beautiful words are these.
Enough to bring this selfish world to its knees.
Thank God for Bealtaine and her wisdom.
May others see the light and find the freedom.
Blessings to you X
I’m often unimpressed by poetry but that was absolutely delightful! Moving, heartfelt, perceptive and beautiful. You are both very talented.
Bless you and thanks X
Beautiful poem, wonderful truth!

Such a sweet poem. Probably means so much more that your brother wrote it! I hope that in my gardening pursuits I can be a light to someone else as you have been to many!
What I love most about Bealtaine is that it touches the hearts of so many people…that is the Great Mother at work! Blessings X Colette
A true “Song of Praise” to you and the earth x
Thanks XXX
