Ghosts

[bennydorano]

Good post. A few years ago I was noseying in around Liverpool Cathedral and it happened to be Choir practice or something and in my mildly hungover state it was one of the most serene experiences of my life sitting there looking around me without a care in the world for 5 or 10 minutes.

@Look-up - you raised a  good point with  religion drop off and anxiety rise. Might be something  in that

I'm not  religious. I  might only be at mass less than 5 times a year, for funerals, anniversaries etc. But I do miss the serenity  of churches.  In a strange way , I sort of admire those with  a strong faith , as it might bring a lot of peace , calmness  to their lives. Those quiet moments  during the day or in  mass , where they sit with their thoughts/prayers in silence.  Mindfulness is a buzz word these days , but these yoga retreats/meditation, off grid  holidays or whatever has in  effect filled the hole where  religion once was.  Mass/prayer  was a lot of people's mindfulness previously

Anywhere different I go , or on holiday , I always try to  pop into a church. Some of it for the architecture and beauty of the building, but  also just to take a  few moments  to just sit in silence with my thoughts. Take stock , mull  over a  few thoughts. Clear the mind. It does help  the mind and body to relax and  think about yourself, other people and about what's important. I definitely don't do that enough in daily life  as modern life can  be hectic. So I suppose church and religion  still has its place in modern life for a lot of people

Anyway, back to ghosts.........

100% the way I feel about it all too

Bit of a mad story.

Bambi Thug was very good, that song she sang was much better than her Eurovision song.

Anyone from Belfast will tell ya bout the story from 91 Beechmount. Think there's a book about it not 100% sure but if you hear that story it would take some explaining g to say there's no such thing as ghosts. I'm sure someone who knows the story well can post it.

I heard there were visions in Mayo of a great crowd with bad teeth on bicycles following a man dressed like an elf holding up a giant goblet.
