Seachain an ghealach lĂĄn!

AedĂ­n NĂ­ Thiarnaigh, 18 Nov

Chaith mĂ© trĂ©imhse i mo chĂłnaĂ­ i gcathair na Gaillimhe cĂșpla bliain Ăł shin. Ceann de na rudaĂ­ ba spĂ©isiĂșla a tharla dom agus mĂ© ann nĂĄ comhrĂĄ cinniĂșnach a bhĂ­ agam le fear tacsaĂ­. Is ag filleadh Ăł aerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath a bhĂ­os, seachas tar Ă©is a bheith amuigh ar an drabhlĂĄs. BhĂ­ sĂ© dĂ©anach go maith ar leaindeĂĄil i nGaillimh dom agus mar sin bheartaĂ­os ar thacsaĂ­ a fhĂĄil abhaile Ăłn stĂĄisiĂșn bus. I dtosach, nĂ­ raibh ann ach an gnĂĄthghiob geab idir mĂ© fĂ©in agus an tiomĂĄnaĂ­;

“Ar do chuid laethanta saoire a bhĂ­ tĂș?”

“Bhí, ar ais ag reality anois áfach agus ag báisteach na Gaillimhe!”

agus araile agus araile.

D’fhiafraigh mĂ© de an raibh sĂ© ag sĂșil le gnĂł maith ag an deireadh seachtaine, a bhĂ­ ag druidim linn.

“Is cuma liom,” ar sĂ© go diongbhĂĄilte, “nĂ­ bheidh mise ag obair”.

“Ó?” arsa mise, “an mbeidh tĂș fĂ©in ag dul ar saoire?”.

“NĂ­ bheidh! Beidh mĂ© suite sa bhaile ar an tolg os comhair na teilifĂ­se. NĂ­ fhĂ©adfadh tĂș mĂ© a Ă­oc anois le dul amach oĂ­che lĂĄnghealaĂ­. NĂ­ fiĂș an trioblĂłid.”

Ba mise a bhĂ­ fiosrach! BhĂ­ an tiomĂĄnaĂ­ bocht ansin cĂ©asta ag mo chuid ceisteanna an bĂłthar ar fad siar go Cnoc na Cathrach. “CĂ©n sĂłrt rudaĂ­ a tharlaĂ­onn? Agus bĂ­onn sĂ© mar sin gach aon mhĂ­? Agus...agus...agus...”

B’iontach an oscailt sĂșl Ă­.

Is rud Ă© a bhĂ­ tugtha faoi deara agam go pearsanta, go raibh tionchar aisteach ag an ngealach lĂĄn orm, ar mo staid mhothĂșchĂĄnach agus ar mo chuid codlata, ach nĂ­ mĂłrĂĄn daoine a chuirfidh muinĂ­n ina leithĂ©id d’fhianaise. Mar sin le blianta beaga anuas, bheadh mo chuid cluasa ar bior i gcĂłnaĂ­ nuair a chloisinn caint ar an ngealach lĂĄn, le go mbaileoinn tuilleadh eolais a neartĂłdh mo chĂĄs agus a dhearbhĂłdh an tionchar a mbĂ­onn ag an ghealach orainn.

Dar ndĂłigh nĂ­ haon teoiric nua Ă© seo, tĂĄ sĂ© chomh sean leis an gceo. SĂ­olraĂ­onn an focal lunatic Ăłn Laidin, luna a chiallaĂ­onn gealach. TĂĄ sĂ© againne sa Ghaeilge fiĂș sa nath imithe le gealaigh, a chiallaĂ­onn duine atĂĄ ar mire, nĂł imithe le bĂĄinĂ­. SĂ­olraĂ­onn sĂ© Ăłn gcoincheap cĂ©anna.

MĂĄ chuardaĂ­onn tĂș an cheist ar lĂ­ne, tiocfaidh tĂș ar an iliomad alt a gcĂ­ortar an cheist iontu, ach is cur amĂș ama Ă© an tĂłraĂ­ocht Ășd. NĂ­ thiocfaidh tĂș ach ar leathfhreagraĂ­ fĂĄnacha. Mar sin san alt seo nĂ­ bhacfaidh mĂ© leis na tuairiscĂ­ Ășd nĂĄ le taighde eolaithe anaithnide. NĂ­ chuirfidh mĂ© faoin bhur mbrĂĄid ach torthaĂ­ le mo chuid fiosrĂșchĂĄn fĂ©in, ar fĂ­orscĂ©alta iad ar fad.

Ag tĂłgĂĄil ar chuntas an fhir tacsaĂ­, agus ar a dtug mĂ© faoi deara i mo cholainn fĂ©in, tharla an chĂ©ad fhionnachtain eile agus mĂ© i mbun cainte le comhghleacaithe liom ag an obair i mbliana. N’fheadar mar a thĂĄinig an comhrĂĄ chun cinn, is dĂłigh go raibh an ghealach lĂĄn Ă­ fĂ©in ag druidim linn nĂł rud Ă©igin, agus mhĂ­nigh mĂ© scĂ©al an fhir tacsaĂ­ don chomhluadar. BhĂ­ beirt ann nach raibh puinn measa acu ar an teoiric, ach bhĂ­ an fear eile ar mo thaobh.

“TĂĄ col ceathrair liom ag obair mar cop i Nua Eabhrac, agus dar leis siĂșd nĂ­l argĂłint ar bith ann. BĂ­onn sĂ© chomh fiĂĄin sin go gcuireann na pĂłilĂ­nĂ­ sa chathair fĂłrsa dĂșbailte amach oĂ­cheanta lĂĄnghealaí”.

BhĂ­ mĂ© ar nĂłs cait an dĂĄ eireaball. B’in fianaise chrua mĂĄ bhĂ­ a leithĂ©id ann!

Is le fĂ­ordhĂ©anaĂ­ a thĂĄinig mĂ© ar an bpointe deireanach, a dhearbhaĂ­onn dom gan dabht gur fĂ­or teoiric thionchar na gealaĂ­. Casadh dochtĂșir thar a bheith oilte orm agus de rĂ©ir mar a chuir muid aithne ar a chĂ©ile luaigh sĂ­ go mbĂ­onn sĂ­ ag obair sa RannĂłg TimpistĂ­ agus ÉigeandĂĄla.

“Is tĂș dĂ­reach an duine atĂĄ uaim!” a bhĂ©ic mĂ© (seans mĂłr gur scantraigh mĂ© Ă­ le mo dhĂ­ochracht).

MhĂ­nĂ­os mo chĂĄs di, chuireas na scĂ©alta a bhĂ­ cruinnithe agam faoina brĂĄid agus d’fhiafraigh mĂ© di faoina tuairim. Bhreathnaigh sĂ­ idir an dĂĄ shĂșil orm;

“Is fuath linn ar fad a bheith ag obair oĂ­che lĂĄnghealaĂ­. TĂĄ sĂ© tugtha faoi deara ag gach duine againn”.

TĂșs buanchairdis a bhĂ­ ann.

MhĂ­nigh sĂ­ dom nĂĄrbh Ă© go mbĂ­onn lear mĂłr daoine breise ag teacht isteach sa rannĂłg Ă©igeandĂĄla, agus mar sin go mbĂ­onn sĂ© deacair fianaise lĂĄidir a chruinniĂș ar phĂĄipĂ©ar, ach go mbĂ­onn fuinneamh aisteach san aer agus athrĂș suntasach chun donais in iompar na n-othar.

Anuas air sin dĂșirt sĂ­ gur aistĂ­ i bhfad na timpistĂ­ a bhĂ­onn ag daoine oĂ­che lĂĄnghealaĂ­; rudaĂ­ ĂĄifĂ©iseacha nach dtarlĂłdh riamh an chuid eile den mhĂ­.

Fuair mĂ© tĂ©acs uaithi dĂ­reach arĂ©ir le rĂĄ go raibh sĂ­ ag obair agus go raibh rĂ­rĂĄ san ĂĄit agus fuinneamh aisteach ann. Chuimhnigh sĂ­ ar ĂĄr gcomhrĂĄ ar sheiceĂĄil fĂ©ilire na gealaĂ­ di, siĂșrĂĄilte glan, bhĂ­ gealach lĂĄn ag druidim linn.

Sin agaibh an fhianaise a chairde. Seachain an ghealach lĂĄn!
