The universe works in crazy ways. Your good luck will come in waves, and so does your bad, so you have to take the good with the bad and press forward.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.

I think of the bog as a feminine goddess-ridden ground, rather like the territory of Ireland itself.
