Wild shadows circling, swaying, closing in on the wondrous walkway, toward the final altar soon to behold the gift that comes but once each year the summer solstice a festival of light precise observation of the source, the Sun. Prehistory, hazy, intriguing, connections made, lay lines, early astronomy the deliverer of a power that focused from within but was triggered from a distant source albeit an all encompassing force, the Sun. What manner of man labored to gather stones from distant Wales, across the land to Salisbury’s plains, a wondrous monument, and to this day still stands as a testament to their beliefs and the source from which all bounties came, the Sun. All who followed, felt the power emanating from the soil beneath, taking refuge in the stones , Druids, gypsies, travelers, bound one and all to Mother Earth through her bounty as bestowed to her by a fiery, but constant lover the Sun. See the stone way - now in shadows, mists swirl, shapes appear, fleeting, imagined, ghostly, or real? Long white robes fill the inner passage as the procession begins and the Druids start their long march toward the crowning moment, when light that has traveled thousands of years delivers the land from the cold mask of winter... and they bow to the source...the Sun.
