I have been playing around with the Gealic word "uafasach". It is usually translated as terrible, horrible or awful. On closer examination it is also translated as awesome or wonderful. Looking at awful and awesome, awful is full of awe and awesome is something which inspires awe.
I'm reliably informed that "awe" is something which should be reserved for the experience induced by God's revelation. That is revelation in the sense that we experience God directly. (A Course in Miracles, Text - Chapter 1, The Meaning of Miracles, Section II, Revelation, Time and Miracles. Paragraph 3).
Those that have been following this blog are right to assume that I have been walking the beaches in Kerry again (See post of 22 APRIL 2010, Ego, Mind, Memory, Emotion). In that post I said "Sometime in the future on that beach in Kerry I may decide that there is yet another role for me."
It appears that fate and the universe have been conspiring to make that a self-fulfilling prophecy. Because, here we are now living in Glenbeigh, and really enjoying the role of grandparents.
Truly "uafasach"!
