Hi there
gathering re/ Tara on the International Day of
Protest against the Destruction at Tara - Tuesday Jan 8th
Tommorow
at the Giants Ring
organised ( slightly ) by Ursula Burns , Stephanie
Sim and myself
in Solidarity with Tara
and specifically with the Woodhenge at Lismullin
which has been handed over to the road contractors at Christmas and which the
bullzdozers are moving in on at the moment
At the Giants Ring outside Belfast - Shaws
Bridges
11am for midday -
Music - poetry - possibly cake
and some sort of a ceremony - which will happen at
mid-day exactly
..... it is Stephanie Sim's baby - Amarghin -
first birthday
named after the First poet in Ireland - and whose
name means " Birth of Song "
or rather its the day after his birthday - so his
age will be a Year and a Day
which is somehow a good sign ; )
we want to draw attention to the similarities
between the two places - to lend Tara our support at this time
and to hold the Spirit of Tara - of Music - Poetry
- Imagination - Peace and of connection with the Land
into the Future to be passed on to the Children and
be kept safe for and by them
Bring - rainwear and boots -dress up if you can -
music if you can - a (short) poem if you like - maybe food to share - a candle
in a jamjar to light
but basically yourself - children especially
Please network this - and perhaps people who cannot
actually BE there on a Tuesday morning - will be there in Spirit
We are not sure yet exactly what or who will be
there - but it will be a good place to be
for anyone who can
_\()/_
After that - at 1.30 pm - some of us will go on to
Stormont to ask Brian Wilson - the Green MLA to convey our feelings on this
issue to his colleague in the South and stress the importance of Tara to not
just Meath County Council - but to the whole of Ireland - these Islands - Europe
and the whole World
in the Past - in the Present - and hopefully in
the Future
Obviously as many people as possible - banners if
anyone has any suitable ones
and I think if you are driving to Stormont you may
need some kind of ID to take a car in
otherwise it is walking up the driveway
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
more information about this
and links to more information about the many issues
arising from this
and these are our Alternative proposals to the
destructon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- sorry this is short notice but whatever you can
do to help network
- any costumes - anybody you know who HAS costumes
- or downright any other ideas you can think of
please get in touch ASAP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
