The Stone

The Stone was written to honor Inishere; a small island off the west coast of Ireland. 

I traveled to Doolin, Co. Clare, then took a ferry to Inishere for a four hour visit.  While there I saw many ruins and at one point picked a small stone out of a surrounding rock wall as a momento of my visit.

Upon returning to Doolin and going to bed, I had terrible nightmares and an odd preminition which disturbed me very much.  The following morning I walked into a small, local bookshop and began talking to a woman about spiritual happenings in the area in general, and on Inishere in particular.  When I explained about my visit, the stone, and my nightmares, she replied; “Ah... return the stone”.

I took the next ferry back to Inishere and did just that.  I then stayed there for the rest of the day, a very relaxing day. Whenever I travel back to Ireland I visit Inishere.
