What may lie beyond

Veiled beyond this ‘vale of tears’

Tears will not reveal

Joy and peace lead gently on

Stepping lightly into Light

The photo for this week’s prompt was taken on Stanton Moor at Imbolc, when we visited the Nine Ladies stone circle. Close by is the Cork Stone, the Andle Stone and, a few minutes farther on, the enigmatic Doll Tor.

The whole area is part of an ancient landscape, comprisng settlements, burial fields and ritual sites that would have served the prehistoric community. It is a place full of magic… whether you see it in the long, human story, the beauty of the landscape or the touch of the sacred in their beliefs. For myself, I do not see them as separate.
