Nuala, so shocked and sad you’ve had to leave this earth which you honoured and respected in every aspect of your life.    You were right in there when respect and care for the earth were only vaguely acknowledged .
Thank you also for your monumental contribution to icap over many years.   Your respect and undaunting commitment to those who came to you with lives of often unspeakable  pain and loss enables many  to move towards  transformative positive lives .  Thanks to you. 
Nuala, Go gently into pure love. Teresa Gallagher
            LifeTime
There’s something about Life
Celebrating
Repetition
Trying nostalgically to fit into time
Our time,
finite, moving, moving on,
Grandmother’s clock continues to strike
Strikes,
even when we hold our breath.
Time, never enough
to be, to do, to long
Longings, what we don’t want to end.
Time, disregarding our feelings,
our love, at one, in people, in nature
In life all around us,
time moves on. 
Yet energised waves lap the shore
Murmuring streams flow by,
endless, unstoppable
Flowing  forward in time
Leaving  us behind.
The gift of life is our gift.
Time is enough, remembering each other
Together
in time
into timelessness
Forever.
