Nature's Standing Stones

If you're like me you find something moving about those ancient monuments we call "Standing Stones" They're everywhere in the British Isles, and of course the best known of all is Stonehenge. I was fortunate when I visited Stonehenge in 1982 still to be able to walk among the stones. Now this is no longer the case.

 

One of the last books the psychologist M. Scott Peck (best known for "The Road Less Travelled") wrote before he died was "In Search of Stones". www.nytimes.com/1995/04/30/books/sermons-in-stones.html Peck went on a pilgrimage back to his roots in Britain and felt a kinship with the Neolithic people who built these incredible monuments. I can understand that, because that is precisely where my roots lie too.

 

So you can imagine my delight when I came upon this natural rock formation. Nature too stands in testament to the wonder and mystery of our creation.
