Rewalking the Famine Road

Story & Experience
In this beautiful and at times harsh environment in 1845 hundreds of people died as they walked in search of food. The road from Leenane to Louisburgh is known as the famine road. Recently my good friend Tom and I visited this site and remembered. I cried and put my tears on the cross I wailed out as my throat needed to express. We made the Radical joy bird with old flowers that had been placed there previously. We acknowledged that this place too held a wounding. The Choctaw nation sent aid to Ireland not long after their own vale of tears when they were displaced. We brought our heart energy to this place. We offer this experience to Global earth exchange 2018.
