"......the words are the image of the minde, so as they proceeding from
the minde must needs be affected with the words. So that speech being Irish, the heart most needs be Irish: for out of the abundance of the heart the tongue speaketh." Edmund Spenser
View of the present State of Ireland (speech written)
You do not have to be of Irish descent to feel the power of these words.

I believe:
 "even for a brief moment...it is all right...a memory filled with such joy and free passion...no matter how brief is worth capturing...to store..to savor at will and bring to mind when most needed...for comfort and a knowledge that there is a person somewhere that at the merest of thought brings a smile..."

~ Introduction ~

Hold onto your dreams no matter how old you may become, for there is such a thing as a mating of souls, a soul mate for eternity and beyond. The stories on these pages are reflections and memories of special moments in my life. These are stories of adult love and contain some words that are not appropriate for anyone under 18 years of age, please be advised before reading further. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have in reliving them.
I must say a special thanks to my mother ( Laura Moody-Fahrer) she has encouraged my writing through the years even as a child, she is a poet and a writer herself. She has never shown her work to anyone, that I am aware of but her children, still she has always been truly an inspiration to us all.
