The Haka the way the Maori say 'Hi' !!!!

On the front page
of Today's Irish Times
there is a photo of players from
New Zealand's World Famous
All Black's Rugby Football Team
doing the Maori 'Haka'before the game
-the Haka looks Scary and Treatening
yet it is just their Cute Quaint Way
of Saying 'Hi'!!!! - at the same time
there is a Message:Treat Us with Respect !!!!


Aon Rud eile a tharla inniu?
(anything else occur Today?)

We had a visit of Muscitions and Dancers
from Korea and a short while ago We were
Sharing Our Various Music Traditions.
One of the Korean Muscitions demonstrated
and Played for Us a Very Old, Very Rare
and Very unusual Korean Instruement
called a Seng-Hwang[or maybe it is spelled? Seng-Hweng?]
We had Our Korean Visiters Up and Trying Out Irish Dancing
One of Our Korean Visiters Sang a Korean Song whilst simultaneously
playing a traditional Korean violin style instruement.
Her Performance was Powerfull with Unexpected Sudden Bursts
of Intense Emotion that caught One out and
Woke One Up with Surprise again and again !!!!

Something Else that should Wake 'Moi' Up
is that it is Wet and Rainy Outside !!
As William Shakespeare declared 400-500 Years ago:
'With Wey Heigh the Wind and the Rain
For It Raineth Everyday'!!!!- and Indeed It Does Often !!!!
Over Here in Ireland We are Used to the Rain
So much So It Actually puts Many of Us in Good Form !!!!
It is Natural It is Familiar It Feels Cozy and Comfertable !!!!
Whereas when the Sun Shines it becomes a cause for Comment
and a Source of Wonder as in 'Wow!- It is Actually Sunny!'
Ireland would be Very Boreing
If it was Sunny All the Time
We would probebly Go 'Nuts'!
- Thank God for Our Blessed
Changeable Weather !!!!
Ireland would Not be Ireland
without Our Plentifull Supply of Rain
and We have So Many Varities and Types of Rain !!!!
The Rain is Beautifull !!!!
The Rain is Wonderfull !!!!

- I have to Dash - If I can I Will Return !!!!
