The Countryside Will Still Be There.

I was walking in the countryside next to the sea or in between the bays on Thursday.  Looking over at the cows and the sheep grazing in the distance.

I looked at the sea and the  Irisn navy and fishing boats and the three peninsulas where we live.  The brown, yellow and green Autumnal colours of the ever changing landscape.

I thought if or when Covid destroys the humans on this planet.  Nature will still carry on.  The days will shorten and the nights will stretch.

Soon it will be gale season and Jack Frost will paint the fields.  There may even be snow. The snow will melt and the streams will meander and rush down the sea.  Like they have done since the dawn of time.  I can still see their glacier footprints in the landscape.

There's talk of "lockdowns" and "circuit breakers" in our towns, villages, cities and town lands.  Like some kind of trench warfare.  Hiding in our scratchings like rodents waiting for the enemy to go away.  A few weeks later we come outside but the enemy is still waiting.  Like the brambles joining hands across the boreens. 

Yet life will go on in the countryside.  The birds will build nests and the animals will raise their young,  

 Are we really so important in the scheme of things?

  2. We are like ants in the scheme of things the veg artist. All these so called politicians who don't have a clue what to do. The landscape speaks to me and says: "Just carry on, we are".

  3. You might be an ant Northsider but I am a big, strapping Yorkshire bloke. This was a thoughtful post and I especially liked this sentence: " Like the brambles joining hands across the boreens." "Boreen" is such an evocative word. To visitors who may not know, in Ireland a "boreen" is a narrow country lane - little travelled but somehow speaking of past times.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Thanks YP. I think the landscape speaks to us when we walk though it and observe. I have read that "Bo" is Irish for cow and "reen" is Irish for lane. So it's a lane wide enough for a cow. Famous Irish Chief Bria Boru introduced a cow tax = Bo (cow) and Ru (tax).

  8. I think more people are going to die from lack of medical attention than die from this virus. The government have got people in a state of panic when there is no need. As with other pandemics and illnesses it will pass but only when the government wants it to.

  13. Hi Linda. Sometimes it takes me a couple of hours of walking before I become absorbed into the scenery and the world and my problems don't seem to be so big. Mother Nature always knows what's best,

  14. A lovely worded post. As I sit here at 2am drinking tea and wondering when will all this chaos end, I realise that life goes on and we adapt. Yet nature is the constant, just gets on with things, like we must do. I'm lucky we have a garden that abuts farmland, so when things get overwhelming I stop and watch nature, even the cows going in in to be milked calms me. I appreciate the small things and try not to focus on the big picture, that is just too much for my small brain. Hope you stay safe and healthy. X

  15. Thank you Diane. You sum the present situation up perfectly. We should appreciate the small things and try not to focus on the big picture and nature will get on doing what it's always done. We must do the same.

  21. I was cured of HIV with the use of natural herbs. My name is Alandre and I'm from Texas. I love herbs so much. Most times, injection and drugs are just a waste of time. I was cured, I suffered from HIV for 13 years but with the help of Dr. Mark herbal medicine, I was cured within a few weeks of drinking the herbs he sent to me through courier delivery service. This same doctor also cured my Aunty from herpes, as soon as I heard she had herpes, I quickly refer her to Dr.Mark and she was cured too after drinking his herbs.I have referred a lot of people to Dr. Mark and they were all cured from their various illness. Have you taken herbs before?. You have spent so much money on drugs,injections,surgeries etc and yet you have no good result to show for it. Contact Dr. Mark now, he is a herbalist doctor, Dr. Mark has herbs that cures Hiv, Herpes, diabetics, asthma, hepatitis, STD, cancer, chronic, etc. Contact Dr Mark through his Email address on: blessedlovetemple@gmail.com Please share the good news to other people once you are cured.

  23. Thanks to Doctor Razor for the Great miraculous work he did in my life with his herbal remedy. I have been living with this virus and I have shared with my partners my situation because they deserve to have a choice of whether they want to change being with me or not. I unfortunately did not have a choice in this matter leaving me vulnerable and now faced with this virus for the rest of my life or until a cure was discovered.I refused to take the Medical drugs my PCD have told me to take, I surrendered to my fate, because I was careless. Late on at night, Feb 13 2017, I came across Doctor Razor herbal medicine. I browsed about the authenticity of This Doctor, I got to see several Testimonies regarding his works from people he had helped with his medicine. i reached out to him and told him my problems, after we spoke he promised to help me out. I started using his herbal medicine which he sent to me Via the Courier Delivery, and asked me to take the herbal medicine for 18 days. which i did. I am delighted to let you all know that I Got cured of Herpes Virus, after the Medical Doctor had confirmed this with the test results, when I went for a medical check up after completing the Herbal Dosage Of 18 days.

  25. A LITTLE ACT OF KINDNESS CAN MAKE YOU REMEMBERED FOR A LONG TIME. GOD BLESS THE GREAT MIND BEHIND CREATING THIS READING PLATFORM. My problem with herpes type 2 has caused me many traumas, especially in my sexual life. I was so afraid of infecting my Boyfriend, I suffered the embarrassment of visiting dermatologists queries hundreds of times. Unfortunately, they did not find a definitive solution to my problem.The solution came from the least expected place By reading in a forum on the subject, mentioned a method for eliminating herpes simplex virus 2. Many people had tried, with excellent and quick results.I had nothing to lose so I decided to use this method to eliminate my herpes 2. spent 18 days using this method and my herpes type 2 completely disappeared. I recommend this method to all those infected with herpes virus, who want to eliminate the herpes from their body forever. Contact Doctor Razor via his Email : drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com , I recommend his herbal herpes healing method. you can visit his website : https://herbalistrazorherb.wixsite.com/drrazorherbalhome, Whatsapp or Call Doctor Razor Via +2349065420442

  27. I NEVER BELIEVED IN HERBS BUT DOCTOR RAZOR MADE ME A BELIEVER. Massive Gratitude to doctor Razor who got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. I got diagnosed with herpes on , 2017.  I have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Doctor Razor, but I never believed them. I was hurt and depressed, I was too curious and wanted to try Doctor Razor, then I contacted him through his email (drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com) when I contacted him, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, I pleaded with him to help me out. I Visited his website :https://herbalistrazorherb.wixsite.com/drrazorherbalhome     My treatment was a great success, he healed me just as he promised. He sent me his medication and asked me to go for check up after 18 days of taking his herbal medicine. I agreed with him and I took his medication and went for check up, to my greatest surprise my result came out negative after the treatment, I'm really delighted that i'm completely cured and healthy again. I waited for a month to be very sure I was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative. so i guess it's time i recommend anyone going through Herpes HSV-1 or HSV-2, HIV, HPV, Hepatitis B, Diabetes, Cancer should reach him.
