*br*Searles wrote,*br*: I wanted to start with the easy ones because, those were *br*: most available to me in the following dindshenchas:*p*     Thank you for that information from the dindshenchas. It seems, in light of what you have presented, that the entire passage I am considering from the Colloquy refer to the Boyne Valley and the landscape along the Boyne, then, as well as the related mythology. Is that what you see also?*p*: What we can see from these relationships and placenames is that*br*: every part of the landscape was sacred and that the telling of from*br*: whence a person had come was a journey in space, in time and in*br*: learning. The naming of the places in a particular sequence probably : can also be explored for understanding. Perhaps in another post?*p*     Indeed. Every answer that both fili give is a study in the interrelation of space, time, and learning. The similarities in their responses, where they come from and their art, is to be expected, of course, and perhaps only adapted by a personal emphasis on their own special skills and experiences within their field. But I digress.*p*     Do you think the Colloquy is formulaic? In other words, do you think these are set questions and answers in the examination of a student of the poetic arts?*p*     If we can examine and, more importantly, understand the sequence on all levels, we could perhaps find more keys to the doors of our spiritual quest. Ah, would that be too much to hope for? :-)*p*Eagerly awaiting,*p*Leigh
