​Intro

“It is full summer now, the heart of June;
   Not yet the sunburnt reapers are astir
Upon the upland meadow where too soon
   Rich autumn time, the season’s usurer,
Will lend his hoarded gold to all the trees,
And see his treasure scattered by the wild and spendthrift breeze.”

~ The Garden of Eros by Oscar Wild ~

Maybe the most famous Irish writer, Oscar Wilde often interjected the Emerald Isle’s landscape into his work from the rolling green meadows to the turning of the season’s, his eye caught everything Ireland had to give. The landscape draws people to the country and the hospitality keeps them coming back for more.

Conclusion

One thing I thought of when I first started traveling was, I loved the plane descending into a new city.  Not just because of my excitement for the trip, but when you look at the city from a few hundred feet in the air, they all look similar. Buildings, cars, twinkling lights. Maybe if we paid more attention from that angle, we could learn to be more accepting. Step back to focus on the similarities.
