Save money and make a difference by GOING PURPLE
18 minutes that could transform your life...
When I was small I stood on top of all the highest hills.
In awe I saw, rows, of houses. searching for my thrills.
I stared across the river, beyond the mountain range
So many people still, asleep. How strange.
I passed waterfalls on my way,
But I was not looking for water that fell.
I was looking for something, maybe
The other end of hell…
I've seen how the Clyde met the Irish Sea.
How the Atlantic joined the North
The Pacific through another canal
But not to the Firth of Forth.
And Mountains. High, higher highest...
Further away, another ocean more seas,
another mountain, the Barrier Reef, the Great Divide.
A pilgrimage back to the Angel Isle, the Cora Linn,
Bonnington Weir and back once again
to where it all began, the falls of the Clyde.
I read, I listened to the psalms and the scriptures.
I saw some people, waterfalls and even salmon,
running their own path. My Chapel, Ben Ime.
Majestic Arrochar Alp is now, where anyone can go.
To enjoy the sun, brave the midge
or wade through thigh high snow.
I go there often to ease my mind
because mountains are not built,
to dock our ships, little lost bhoys
or harbour Catholic guilt.
I was never chasing waterfalls.
I was chasing something else.
I was looking for something.
I always had been just, looking for myself.

Are you looking for something else but don't know what that is...
That's right you don't believe in all of that stuff do you?
Let it RAIN...
