A standing stone with ogham inscription

Ogham (pronounced oh-am) is an ancient form of Irish writing comprised of patterns of parallel strokes to the side or across a continuous line. Image Credit Well, that’s the technical explanation of this old Celtic form of communication, but for me the very word brings to mind images of ancient stones pointing skyward in mystical […]

The Pope and the US President walking together in the White House

Pope Francis has returned to Rome after a hectic trip to the United States, where he was greeted by large and enthusiastic crowds.  Traveling to the east coast was not possible for me, but I followed his trip carefully throughout the past week.

When you consider great American bridges you probably immediately think of engineering marvels like the Brooklyn Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge. However I believe covered bridges should […]
