Interesting post considering that Irish was always obligatory when I went to school and that in turn had the effect of turning so many people away from it.
Interesting. I think that many people have lost the lust for silence and peace, have become so distracted by the hectic, loud, chaotic world that exists now.
Ryoma, your home sounds like a wonderful place that you do not take for granted, that feeds you with its love and peace and I can feel the warmth from your words.
