There is a wild land west of the Shannon to which the English banished the rebel lords of Ireland. Here on the same stormy shores where Irish monks earlier preserved the light of civilization through Europe's Dark Ages, the noble Irish preserved their ancient language and high culture.
Today, not only are the language and culture of the Irish preserved in Connemara, but also a traditional way of life in which the whole family works together to win a living from the land and sea at a variety of tasks which change with the seasons.
The air is clear and the water pure in Connemara because the people live in harmony with nature and do not take more from the land than the land gives willingly. They are self-reliant people who use local resources and the traditional skills perfected by their ancestors, and are content with lives of hard work and simple pleasures.
They live with the wind and the rain, but the sunshine between fills their sky with rainbows.

COMPOSED IN THE GLEN OF LOCH ETIVE - Scotland
"This Land of Rainbows spanning glens whose walls,
Rock-built, are hung with rainbow-coloured mists--
Of far-stretched Meres whose salt flood never rests--
Of tuneful Caves and playful Waterfalls--
Of Mountains varying momently their crests--
Proud be this Land! whose poorest huts are halls
Where Fancy entertains becoming guests;
While native song the heroic Past recalls."
Thus, in the net of her own wishes caught,
The Muse exclaimed; but Story now must hide
Her trophies, Fancy crouch; the course of pride
Has been diverted, other lessons taught,
That make the Patriot-spirit bow her head
Where the all-conquering Roman feared to tread.
William Wordsworth - Composed During A Tour In Scotland And On The English Border, In The Autumn Of 1831.

Ireland... think of all the Leprechauns with their pots of gold at the end of the rainbow.

There is a special place known as the land of rainbows- a special place where our little ones go when they leave their physical body on earth-and cross into another state of being.
Just a thought away, in another dimension, this place is safe, sweet, and holds all that brings joy to it's inhabitants.
