Cead Fáilte romhat! is é do bheatha
Welcome once again to Crann na beatha Short Stories and Poetry for March 1st, 2024
I am Terrance Ó Domhnaill, your Irish scéalaí and I am back again to read you more stories and poems from Medium writers.
This week, I have three stories, and two poems for everyone. The first is the fifth chapter of the ongoing story From Beyond the Water Wall, A cute alien story, two poems that will make you think about life a little, a fictional dystopian future story that reminds me a little of my book, Fugitives in a New United States and chapter fourteen of the Sanctuary story.
So gather round and let me read to you for a bit as you relax under the Crann na beatha, the tree of life.
I added the advertisement in the middle of the podcast so you can refill your cup before sitting down for the second poem and the rest of the stories.
Once again, I remind readers that the selections are from Medium writers and as such are paywalled by the authors, unless they have that special link that enables non-subscribers to read them in their entirety.
Here is the list of this weeks stories and poems.

Go raibh maith agat. Thank you for listening to the show today. I hope you enjoyed the variety of stories and poems again this week. Maybe one of them might touch your heart a little.
Please return again next week for another episode of Crann na Beatha Stories and Poetry.
As a Seanchaí, I want to continue to delight you with a story or a poem that may bring you a smile or make you think a little after we part for the day.
As I say good bye this week, I wish to leave you with this Irish blessing as you go about your day. "Long-life and fair health to you - Saol fada agus breac-sláinte chugat." "Slán go fóill - goodbye for now".
