SWALLOWS | GOBHLANAN-GAOITHE
Swallows | Gobhlanan-gaoithe
Our arcs and pirouettes of hope come as delicate arrows of joy. Their arrival marks the beginning of spring. Soaring to the limits of existence, swallows touch the heavens on their journeys. They channel messages between this world and the other world. They carry the souls of our loved ones.
A symbol of protection for travellers and sailors, swallows make us believe in the hope of returning to our own safe havens – family, friends, lovers, place, belonging. Fragile equations of energy and delight, crossing oceans and deserts. A tattoo on the body for good fortune, an imprint on the consciousness.
The gobhlan-gaoithe, the little wind fork, lives alongside us for too few months in the year, and bring a chaotic order to our world – the passing of seasons, the permeable fixing of nature’s calendar. The pain of parting and the anticipation of a homecoming.
Resilience. Courage. Hope.
’S ann mar shaigheadan aotrom an àigh anns
na speuran a nochdas dannsairean an dòchais againn, ag innse dhuinn gu bheil sinn air stairsneach an Earraich. Ag itealach gu h-àrd, gu fìor-iomall an comais, bidh na gobhlanan-gaoithe a’ suathadh ris an iarmailt. Tha iad
a’ toirt theachdaireachdan eadar an saoghal againn is an saoghal eile, is a’ giùlan anman ar luchd-gaoil.
Samhlaidhean-dìon do luchd-siubhail agus seòladairean, bidh gobhlanan-gaoithe a’ cur nar cuimhne gu bheil cala ann do gach duine againn – teaghlach, caraidean, carbhaidhean, àite, buntainneas. Comharradh air craiceann, làrach air inntinn.
Cha bhi an gobhlan-gaoithe ach greiseag nar cuideachd gach bliadhna, ach chì sinn òrdugh air choireigin anns na pàtranan aca – na ràithean a’ tighinn ’s a’ falbh, agus mìosachan mì-chinnteach an t-saoghail ga stèidheachadh. Pian an dealachaidh ach a’ sùileachadh ri tilleadh.
Leanailteachd. Cridhe. Dòchas.
