Summer Solstice Stonehenge Hanging stones commingle with the sun faithful, even though defiled; teach us to be mindful of dying and birth. The sons and daughters of the neoteric solstice chant their private incantations, morning, noon and night they observe. Ancients attuned to the turning skies laugh, ever so slowly at first. It’s a long, long way from the cords of time, to synthesize with our beating drums and pipes. © Joy Marsh All rights reserved

Joy Stonehenge is an absolutely fascinating place.. I have always associated it with the Druids and Chariots of the Gods.. I am certain there is a celestial connection...;) Peter
