Some of my Drawing and Watercolour Sketches from Ireland with Mevlevi Ney Music.
This Music and My Sketches are not revelant but as Mevlana has said :

"Come, come again, whoever you are, come!
Heathen, fire worshipper or idolatrous, come!
Come even if you broke your penitence a hundred times,
Ours is the portal of hope, come as you are."

therefore This Mevlevi Music can be revelant with everyone and everything...

Mevlana Celaleddin was born on 30 September 1207 in Balkh in present day Afghanistan and He died on 17 December 1273 in KONYA in present day TURKEY.

Mevlana also says :

"I HAVE FIVE THINGS TO SAY.....
Five things to give into your grace..

FIRST : When I was apart from You , this World did not exist nor any other

SECOND :Whatever I was looking for
was always You..
THIRD : Why Did I ever learn to count to
Three ???
................
ONLY YOU
Only you I choose among the entire world.
Is it fair of you
letting me be unhappy?
My heart is a pen in your hand.
It is all up to you
to write me sad or happy.

WHO IS MEVLANA ?
Mevlana who is also known as Rumi, was a philosopher and mystic of Islam, but not a Muslim of the orthodox type. His doctrine advocates unlimited tolerance, positive reasoning, goodness, charity and awareness through love. To him and to his disciples all religions are more or less truth. Looking with the same eye on Muslim, Jew and Christian alike, his peaceful and tolerant teaching has appealed to men of all sects and creeds.....

During the more than 800 years of recorded history of The Mevlevi Order, 33 members of the family occupied the Post
Celaleddin Bakir Celebi, the 21st grandson of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi died on 13 April, 1996 in Istanbul, Turkey.

TRADITIONAL SAILING BOAT "GALWAY HOOKER"

The Galway Hooker is a traditional sailing boat used in Galway Bay off the west coast of Ireland.
The hooker was developed for the strong seas there. It is identified by the sail formation,
which is extremely distinctive and quite beautiful. It consisted of a single mast with a main sail and two foresails.
Traditionally, the boat is black (being coated in pitch) and the sails are a dark red-brown.

"ABOUT the CONNACHT"

Con McCann ( well known boatman and musician ) restored veteran hooker Connacht at Kinvara , Aug.1987 .
On wednesday June 28th 1989 , The Connacht sailed from Portaferry bound north to Carrickfergus ..later Roundstone..
the weather blew up strong north west and a faint mayday call was picked up in Liverpool identifying the Connacht as sinking but radio was cut before completion of the message.

...The searchers located the body of Audrey Cannon , a broken tiller ....but no trace of Con McCann or CONNACHT........
