Your Reward is Inevitable - an Irish tale about goodness repaid ☘️#ireland #story #kindness

Some people say or imply that nice people are rubes, chumps, or losers - but of course WE don't believe that. Today, I share a tale that encourages us to remember that the goodness we share ALWAYS returns to us in one way or another, and something in very surprising ways! ANNOUNCEMENT We start the new class, THE SACRED ANIMALS OF THE CELTS, next week! We'll spend May with Salmon, Swan, and Horse, meeting them in tales and traditions that bring us vitality, beauty, and power. If the time is right, I would LOVE to spend time with you in May!!

QUESTION: Have you ever received goodness in return for your goodness - but from an unexpected or even miraculous channel? SOURCE “The Grateful Weasel” recorded by Proinsias de Búrca from Seán MacAodhgháin, Moycullen, Co. Galway. WHAT IS THIS CHANNEL ABOUT? This channel sits at the crossroads where Irish tradition and folklore meet creative living and practice. I'm sharing what I've learned from 25 years as a teacher of Irish folklore and language and from 50 years as a conscious creator. My heart's desire is to inspire you to live and create with JOY and EAGERNESS. WHO AM I? I'm a poet, singer, storyteller, and scholar and teacher of Irish language and folklore with a PhD in Celtic Languages and Literatures from Harvard University where I've been teaching for the past 25 years. I also run the Bardic Academy, a school for singers, harpers, poets, and pianists, as well as the Celtic Wisdom School where we study Irish folklore with an eye to growing in creativity, wisdom, and joy.
