Searles wrote,*p*: The word Bro/n in the Triad is a play on Bro/n Trogain *br*: (another name for Lughnasadh), a harvest festival.  The *br*: sorrows are the nature outgrowth of giving up something to *br*: the cycle of harvest, death, birth, regrowth.  In a sense it *br*: is about learning as well as agriculture as the student must *br*: eventually go away or beyond the lessons of the teacher.  In *br*: much the same way, sons and daughters, leave the homes of *br*: their mothers and fathers to enter the activities of the *br*: world.*p*     Ah, now that you say that, it makes a great deal of sense. Each one of the three represents the end of a cycle, then, but these three endings are good for the people. It's like the mixed feelings we have at harvest, where the joy of a good crop is overshadowed by the knowledge of winter just around the corner. This triad teaches us that endings are a natural and necessary part of life. :-)*p*     Thanks.*p*Leigh*p*
