Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Saoirse

[Stephen Waters (duatshemsu]

Erin Go Bragh,
 
 I recently traced my lineage back to Spiddell, just north of Galway, and found 
that my name there is Eamon O' Taurisg. Later became bastardized by the English 
when my family moved to England during the great famine. "Waters" they said it 
sounded like when spoken quickly. So mote it be, I am now Stephen Waters.
 Are you familiar with the Cal Earth Institute and the works of Nader Khalili? 
His buildings, out of as much earth as possible, are inspired by the works of 
Rumi. He specializes in Rumi domes.
 
Slainte,
Stephen.

Rob and others who might be curious, my name -- Saoirse -- is Irish. In the
Irish language, it means "freedom." Both pronunciation (sair'sha) and
spelling are difficult for Americans, but it's a familiar word for the
Irish. It is a name that I claimed in part because I consider myself to be
one who tracks the pathway to freedom (in the spiritual or mystical sense)
for both myself and others. Freedom from old patterns, old beliefs that
impede the experience of a life with heart. Freedom to explore new
territory, new ground for one's spirit.

Cohousing is fertile ground for such exploration.

You knock at the door of reality,
shake your thought-wings, loosen
your shoulders,
             and open.
Rumi
