Thomas Flynn

Thomas Flynn is a birthplace in Ballaghaderreen, County Roscommon, Ireland. Perhaps the boy ran barefoot through wet grass before becoming a bishop, his small hands clutching marble chips stolen from church walls. Maybe he heard music in rain striking roof tiles, learning that godness lives in ordinary sound. Imagine him looking back once at the town that made him, not with pride but with tenderness for the child who could not yet name what he felt.
