in the North,  up from the Meadow,  in the far forest from B.    Very large and not "fallen into",  but Near one another,  touching.   you instinctively approach slowly and as quietly as you can,  then squat.  a little distance away.  There is the Felt Sense that if you sit long enough and often enough,  If you became familiar to them,  you could hear something,  a kind of language,  or song.   A murmuring .   Tomorrow is a Full Moon.  By next full moon,  all will have changed.  Wet.  Rain will have changed their color and patterns.  Lichen will appear.  Maybe ferns.   I still am not sure exactly how to get there,  to where they are.  I go in that direction and then stand,  wait a lot,  then trying an opening in the brush.  I have yet to make a path.  I'd like to try to go there tomorrow night,  under the Moon.  Before the Rain.

    Seems you are already speaking in tongues. Perhaps those shapes (boulders? Beings?) will murmur enough for your ears, or heart.
    It’s an arresting Image full of mystery. I’ll be off the Internet
    with a last blog post at Midnight. I leave for a week tomorrow.

    They look like “slumbering animals”–how long will they sleep? who knows. It would be interesting to take a photo each month at the Full Moon and see how the light moves across them.

    Ever since early spring, there have been NO snakes. They of course are here. But doing their own private business. There have been 12 goats, a dog and a cat, people now and then, moving through the Whole of this Place and no sighting of any snake. it is not an issue. We live.
