The Irish in Me

I'm half German, and a quarter Peruvian too, but it's that quarter Irish that I most identify with. And it's not the goofy Erin go braugh! part, or the leprechauns, it's the green soul of Ireland that calls to me. Celtic music plays across my heartstrings like nothing else, Celtic Worship most of all. The lonesome sounds of the sea, mixed with strings and pipes are nearly enough to transport me elsewhere, to another place and time. Maybe it's the pirate history of my Irish relatives, maybe it's the salt air in my lungs and the poetry that runs through my head, but I feel Irish through and through.
