  • I pass Carrigafoyle Castle and stay on Carraig Island. This is a beautiful wee landmass on the Shannon estuary and close by is a small gate to commemorate Brendan Kennelly who was an Irish poet and novelist. Watch until the end for what felt like a very relevant and apt moment in terms of the past couple of days of my walk…

    I was there!!! Thanks to you. Slept just round that corner, where you said boats would dock. Met a lovely man who said he visited it regularly and that he and his son would have a meal at the top. Looking out through the hole that cromwells cannon destroyed.
    Thanks again Derek. Great video. Great message

    I know that its been awhile since this video was posted , but I was touched by what you talked about in the video before , after being with your family. They belive you belong to them amd yet they do care about you. BUT THE WORLD YOU HAVE TOUCHED FEEL YOU BELONG TO ALL OF US TOO.
    Hope you understand what I am trying to say .( You belong to yourself) . Your happiness is what us important. Family's are important also .

    Beautiful video (and sentiments), Derek. That was very touching (what Kay said to you). You're so right that we're lacking in encouragement these days for one another. It makes a difference when we can pay it forward, bit by bit. And that's what you do for us! You encourage us to get grounded, stay centered, take joy in the simple things in life (like that morning light through the trees or a poem from Brendan Kennelly)."We must try again to begin." You're a joy to us (and have encouraged me to read John O'Donohue). I can't wait to soak up some of his wisdom, like you! We love you, Derek! Keep it up!

    Love watching your videos especially around Cork the place looks amazing.
    I think that Poem was first said in 1997 on the late late show in dedication to a Women who just lost her daughter, Gay called a person who won a car where her Daughter was killed the previous night in a car crash, look for Brendan Kenelly late late show.

    Hello you! 😉 Thats better, you have perked up a little. Very interesting walk. Loved the sheepdogs and the greyhounds. Hope you have a restful stay on the island. Your a sensitive soul Derek but you know this makes you very endearing. Lift your head up, tomorrow is another day and another adventure. Matthew 6:34 "So never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Each day has enough of its own troubles" Jesus words 💜

    Thanks for keeping it real Derek. You are so open and honest about how you are feeling. And, you are so right...the best thing right now is a good long walk to center and ground yourself again. We're all rooting for you! Loved the dog encounters, being man's best friend and all.😊

    New beginnings every day, the sadness was so palpable in your eyes at the beginning of your video, but as you spoke about lovely Kaye, her gift o encouragement your eyes smiled and the whole video was your gift to my heart… what we need in these moments we live…beginning over and over again… my dad OConnor and mum Conroy, hope I can get to that place someday and see you along the way❤️✝️🙏
