Tara plans for Imbolc  - Sunday 1st February

Hi all, There will be an Imbolc Celebration at Tara next Sunday. We will be meeting at 4.30 in the car park. Details below. Please spread the word. With thanks to John Farrelly, Carmel http://www.indymedia.ie/article/90806

,,, this is the main Tara one - please anyone get to it who can

- but also something is happening at Dundalk which JanetO'Hagan and some people from here are going down to -

there is a huge amount of other stuff going on , Tarawatch are persuing a Unesco challenge

as are SaveTara who are also coordinating a letterwriting campaign to TDs ,  detailing how much money it would save to stop the M3 now and use the environmentally friendly Meath Master Plan instead

I will try to summarise it all ... but ...it is complicated , best from the relevant websites  
even better the Yahoo groups associated with the sites ...
  ... ... but anyway , the issue is far from dead
if anything , the changing economic situation is bringing it back to life ....

 - there are court cases and other things - oh , funding has been secured for another Feis Teamrach and if its anything like last years it will be brillant

and a belated report from the thing at the Giants Ring , here , on the 8th

it was beautiful - the weather was astonishing , the sun lifting the frost off the grass into a warm haze and although walking around the top of the ring you can see for counties in every direction , and out to sea too
inside it is sheltered like a nest
the moon and sun were both in the sky
and it was lovely anyway - but at one minute to midday , Ursula arrived with her harp - 
we lit candles inside the dolmen  - read some poems and Ursula played Raglan Road and other things  At one point the music became really strange and I could hear it resonating through the rocks of the dolmen . I was leaning my head against the rock in the warm sun and had my eyes shut so I didnt realise she had stopped actually playing the harp and that even though there wasnt any breeze , the strings were just playing by themselves

it was wonderful
Ursula says that just happens sometimes
but I have never heard anything like it , it was astonishing and I am enchanted  

but also we realised that though we were amazingly lucky with the weather - and that one of the people there had a harp and a voice like an angel

that it was a good thing to do and a good place to be anyway - regardless - it would have been okay if it had been raining , or if none of us had had any talent - it would still have been good

and it doesnt really need anyone to organise anything

doesnt need a heap of people - just as many as can be there
all it absolutely needs is someone willing to go into the dolmen and clean it up and clear out the shit - which was what Colette was doing while I was wandering around and talking to trees in the morning - I didnt realise till after

anyway , it was great ; )  and we will somehow be back next year for midday on the 8th january

some pictures will be on the TBU 29 page - here soon
also some explantion about why the eighth
