Coming from such a country as Australia, where our ancient human history is only apparent in very few places {Kakadu, for example, which is mind blowing but very remote} and where all of our cities are very, very young, this idea of just being able to pop out for a walk to see these ancient stones is one that completely, utterly fascinates me. <br /><br />And importantly, did the stones impart the desired wisdom? I bet they did, because you were in the right frame of mind to be open to contemplation.

And I do believe that the last phrase of your comment could end up being a motto on how to live life! <br /><br />PS. I was very excited to discover two really amazing blogs today--and when I clicked to comment on the first, French Sampler, there you were! the second is Un Femme d'un Certain Age, which is just so straight on witty and perfect.
