sending peace and love this St Patrick's day.
the world feels so heavy right now that I wasn't going to post anything.
but this song truly gives me so much comfort and hope that i wanted to share it in case anyone else needs it. the lyrics are pure poetry and i'm beyond grateful to Shane MacGowan for bringing them into the world.
additionally, i want to call attention to how so much of the traditional Irish music we listen to when celebrating St Paddy's sings out loudly against oppression, violence, hatred, and exploitation. to me, these songs go out to all people fighting to be seen with respect and dignity. if there's a violence and oppression that one group of people wouldn't tolerate, why should others be expected to?
so celebrate today but please keep those who are fighting to have their humanity recognized and their lives valued in your heart and on your mind.
