I'm flattered that you felt the urge to steal. I don't know that this is a codified Géarthnuns expression. Rather, it was just me expressing my own feeling about current events in Géarthnuns. I have been struck by the irony that in the midst of such glaring tragedy, the weather, in this part of the country at least, has been absolutely spectacular. So although I am profoundly saddened, I *have* taken comfort in the banner sunshine, the gradually emerging foliage, the song of birds, and...the wind in the trees. Humans will continue to make phenomenally bad choices, but the sun still rises, soil still smells neat after a rain, and my dog still looks as cute as a button when he's asleep on the couch. Rock on.
