Reflection

“Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - I’ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.

Birr Art Group presented a mural to commemorate 20 years of the Sandymount Nursing Unit. Kathleen Gormley & Jean Forristal were key to the project. The triskel in the bottom right corner with its three spirals represents the cycle of birth, life and death. It is also a symbol of strength and progress. The Nursing home and grounds are a central feature to the Mural. While two residents sit around the drumlin of tree shrubs. The mural is displayed in the day care center activity room.
