Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked the story! That line is definitely something I learned the hard way, on my own skin.

I can see by reading stories like this, that you have an affinity for the Irish and the land. With your permission, I would like to read this one for my other podcast, which is a bit more popular than The Village Oak Tree. This one is called Crann na beatha Stories and Poetry. I read short fictional stories and poems over a half hour period every Friday. Most of them I get from writers in Medium.com but I have wanted to diversify more and this would be a great opportunity to do just that. I will find the time to read more of your poems and probably ask to read some of those as well in the future. May I please read this for May 31st?

Absolutely! You have my full permission and I'm honoured you want to read my work. There will be many more stories and poems inspired by the land and folklore in the future.
