The snowdrop,
Winter's timid child,
Awakes to life,
Bedew'd with tears;
And flings around
Its fragrance mild,
And where no rival
Flow'rets bloom,
Amid the bare
And chilling gloom,
A beauteous gem appears!

~ Mary Darby Robinson (1758-1800)

The snowdrops are out! Plenty were spotted yesterday here at Ards Friary beside Sheephaven Bay in County Donegal, and pretty soon they'll be all over Ireland carpeting woodlands, fields and gardens. Originally a native of southern Europe, they were brought to Ireland in the 15th century by monks who planted them around monasteries and in churchyards. Years ago the flower was used to treat headaches, and in modern medicine a substance called galanthamine, which is found in the bulb of 'Winter's timid child', has been used to develop a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. 🥰

Welcome to my life. Once you get grounded it's a pretty grand connection of God's oneness!

Being an empath is like having a hidden sense, an extra layer of understanding that goes beyond what's seen or heard.
It's the ability to walk into a room and instantly grasp the emotional atmosphere, the unspoken tensions or underlying joys that hang in the air.
You become attuned to the subtle shifts in body language, the barely perceptible changes in tone, and the emotions radiating from others. It’s as if their feelings become your own, allowing you to experience their happiness, sadness, or anxiety alongside them. This heightened sensitivity means you can instinctively recognize when someone is being dishonest or needs support, creating a deep connection that transcends superficial interactions.
It's a gift, but also a responsibility, as you navigate the world with a profound awareness of the emotional landscape around you ..

This morning, my world is transformed into a serene landscape, draped in a soft white blanket that covers everything in sight.
The roofs sparkle as if they are adorned with countless tiny diamonds, catching the early light just right.
The once-barren trees now stand tall and proud, their branches lightly dusted with snow, restoring their elegance in this winter wonderland.
Everything feels so peaceful, as if the world has pressed pause, allowing me to savour this magical moment.
In the stillness, I can hear faint echoes, maybe the chirp of a distant bird or the gentle rustle of the wind, reminding me that life continues beyond this perfect scene.
But for now, I find joy in simply being here, surrounded by the calm beauty, letting the gentle silence wrap around me like a warm hug. This moment is a treasure, a glimpse of nature’s quiet magic ..
