It was a rainy Saturday morning in Limerick and I dragged my brother-in-law and my niece out to the Stone Circle at Grange so they could experience a little history on their visit to Ireland.
This Stone Circle dates from around 2,000 BC and on a soft rainy day like this we had the place to ourselves and a chance to feel the wonderful sense of history that such a special place brings to your soul.
Its builders likely didn’t have wheels and yet moved large boulders great distances. They had limited celestial knowledge (or did they) and yet they perfectly aligned the entrance to the circle so that at daybreak on the summer solstice in June, the early morning rays would beam through the entrance and directly hit the center point of the circle. They didn’t have drones or satellite views and yet the entrance to this circle and two others in nearby fields formed a perfect isosceles triangle.
For many years, this little spot has been my personal haven … a means to ground myself away from life’s chaos and restore some sense of reality on the relevance of issues that I get to face on a daily basis.
I flew back last night and I hope these three little images help give you room for thought as you go through the rest of your week!
