I took this photo from high up on Mushera mountain, near Millstreet, Co.Cork (Irl)
This is the highest part of a road called ‘The Butter Road’. The views normally here are stunning but last Wednesday morning the valley below was covered in a big blanket of fog. Looking down over the fog bank, from my vantage point was particularly beautiful.

Spiritual Thought For The Week
(The Spiritual Thought For The Week is updated each Monday)
‘Love is a maze, life is a riddle and I’m just a bit caught in the middle.’ ~Author Unknown
Abraham Lincoln, a noted storyteller, recalled that there was a farmer who had a very large tree that grew beside his house. It was a majestic looking tree and apparently perfect in every part, tall, straight and of immense size. One morning, while at work in his garden, the farmer saw a squirrel run up the tree into a hole and he wondered if the tree might be hollow.
What was he to do now? If he cut it down, it could do great damage with its great length and enormous spreading branches. If he let it remain, his family would be in constant danger. In a storm it might fall or the wind might blow it down onto his home and the children would be crushed by it. What should he do? As he turned away, he said sadly: ‘I wish I had never seen that squirrel?’
There are times in our own lives when we too feel caught in the middle. We’re not sure what to do next and sometimes regret how we got dragged there in the first place. But even in that place that we call the middle, we have to make a decision. We might be pulled in both directions, but a decision will have to be made.
