Seamus Ahearne finds the ‘living is easy’ in summertime.
“The unexpected has to happen or we have to believe in the surprises of life. The unlikely does occur. ‘Summertime and the living is easy.’ That may not be so always. But in faith and with God, there is always a summertime.  The life of grace. The life of wonder. The life of love. It is there. Our church cannot be dour.”

Séamus Ahearne: May the nourishment of the earth be yours; may the fluency of the ocean be yours; may the protection of the ancestors be yours; and so may a slow wind work these words of love around you, an invisible cloak to mind you. (John O Donohue)
