You’ll know if you’ve read any of the World Cafe Stewardship Dialogue blog posts that every morning at this wonderful event was begun in ceremony, with Anne Dosher calling on the eleven directions. I was particularly struck by her evocation to the SW, addressing the Stone People, Guardians of Dreams.

This combination of stones and dreams is meaningful to me partly
because of my attraction & connection to stone circles. One of the
subtleties that most fascinates me about being in the UK & Ireland
is the pervasive presence of neolithic art. I recently blogged a brief
post (with pictures) in my Art & the Environment blog, about the stone art I experienced during my recent trip to those verdant isles.
