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 Ătha 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;
âAr do chuid laethanta saoire a bhĂ tĂș?â
âBhĂ, ar ais ag reality anois ĂĄfach agus ag bĂĄisteach na Gaillimhe!â
agus araile agus araile.
Dâfhiafraigh mĂ© de an raibh sĂ© ag sĂșil le gnĂł maith ag an deireadh seachtaine, a bhĂ ag druidim linn.
âIs cuma liom,â ar sĂ© go diongbhĂĄilte, ânĂ bheidh mise ag obairâ.
âĂ?â arsa mise, âan mbeidh tĂș fĂ©in ag dul ar saoire?â.
âNĂ 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.â
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. âCĂ©n sĂłrt rudaĂ a tharlaĂonn? Agus bĂonn sĂ© mar sin gach aon mhĂ? Agus...agus...agus...â
Bâiontach 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 dâfhianaise. 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. Nâfheadar 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.
âTĂĄ 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 lĂĄnghealaĂâ.
BhĂ mĂ© ar nĂłs cait an dĂĄ eireaball. Bâin 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 ĂigeandĂĄla.
âIs tĂș dĂreach an duine atĂĄ uaim!â 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 dâfhiafraigh mĂ© di faoina tuairim. Bhreathnaigh sĂ idir an dĂĄ shĂșil orm;
âIs fuath linn ar fad a bheith ag obair oĂche lĂĄnghealaĂ. TĂĄ sĂ© tugtha faoi deara ag gach duine againnâ.
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!
