Sue’s photo-journal of the Circles weekend continues… The Silent Eye We left the standing stone and walked back through the gate onto the Edge. Normally we would walk back a different way, but the path is a morass at the best of times and it had rained a lot in the area lately. At least the path would be fairly dry this way. The … Read More Circles Beyond Time – A rock and a hard place

The Silent Eye Part Eight of The Unseen Sea “Grandad,” asks Jessica, taking his hand as they walk up the face of the sand dune. “What is a me?” He looks down at the golden-haired child and shakes his head in admiration. He knows it is not unusual for children to have these thoughts, but his grandaughter seems positively precocious with such considerations. It … Read More The Unseen Sea – 8: The Nature of Me

The Silent Eye Wading through the wet bracken, we knew, would be worth it, for on the other side of the green fronds there is a stone…and it is something a bit different, in more ways than one. Several examples of Neolithic rock art, or petroglyphs, have been found on this part of the moor. One we have yet to locate, another, found during … Read More Circles beyond Time – Ancient lines

Sue’s photo-journal of Circles of Time continues… The Silent Eye We had brought the group here for just two stones. Nothing as visually spectacular as the wonderful dolmens we had seen in Wales, but to a quiet, green glade that always feels as if it is waiting and where a single standing stone rises like the gnomon of a sundial from the earth. If … Read More Circles Beyond Time – The standing stone

Sue’s journal of the Circles of Time weekend continues… The Silent Eye We’d cancelled sunrise. Not literally, you understand, but what with our company, for once, being lodged across a swathe of miles and the weather being singularly uncooperative, it seemed unfair to drag everyone from their beds at some ungodly hour just to get wet and see nothing. It was, therefore, a rested … Read More Circles Beyond Time – On Edge

In response to Sue Vincent’s Thursday photo prompt. All the Darkness – #writephoto What the hell, he muttered. And it was the equinox, after all. He’d thought that he would give this one a miss; but then came the drive to his mother’s house and the usual time-slip as the joys and labours of caring took far more time than they should. Sometimes, he would drive … Read More All the Darkness – #writephoto
