Playing Place…

*

Well, it didn’t take us long to get there did it?

But let’s ponder a moment

what this structure could mean…

We could call the two flanking uprights,

Summer and Winter,

or Night and Day,

or Them and Us,

and it would not really matter which was which.

If we did that though, what would we call the holed stone?

*

Descriptions…

*

Two singular stones,

And one duality…

*

Yet, tantalisingly,

there are lots of other stones,

seemingly strewn,

and lumps, and bumps, and cavaties,

which make us suspect

that what we now see

is not all there once was to see…

*

Circle of Stone…

*

If ever there was a monument that ought to be regarded as fake.

This is surely it.

So far as we know it is unique,

although there are many holed stones.

The others are usually uprights, stand alone, and have much smaller holes.

But if it is authentic, and we have never come across

any suggestion that it is not,

then it is an indication that the ancients

ritualised, and that they thought symbolically.

This should not come as a surprise.
