The Hill Of Tara

Inhale.....,

Exhale.....,

The holy grail,

is deep within your mind.

Breath In....,

breath out....,

don't scream or shout,

seek and you shall find.

Sitting on the ancient hill,

where High Kings once were crowned.

The Stone of Destiny in light,

That's sometimes lost and found.

Then the Sun it rises, bringing sight,

to tired eyes.

That Star that burns for all of us,

shining in the morning sky.

Guiding some to madness,

others to a shadowed truth.

On The Hill of Tara,

reconnecting with our roots.

Utterly shocked to hear of Ciaran's sudden and unexpected passing. We enjoyed our usual coffee banter with John the previous week! Sincere condolences to Ciaran's family, his brothers John and Barney and the extended O'Reilly family and circle of friends. Ciaran was a hard working man, carried himself with integrity and expected the same. He loved the outdoors and understood that simply appreciating and respecting the natural world was very rewarding in so many ways. His sense of humor and its soft delivery, with a smile, will be missed by those who remember it. Back in 2003, Ciaran, John and Barney gifted me the bar counter at my bar Teddy B's (currently Route 92, San Mateo, CA) The counter still looks great today! Thank you again Ciaran. May you Rest in Peace my friend. I feel very fortunate to have met you. God Bless
