The large
pebble stone found on the sandy Findhorn Beach holds a ring, an ellipse, a
circle. It is one of the many beautiful patterns nature gives us. Ancient rock
formations of different minerals fusing together. Granite, quartz, Lewisian
Gneiss, sand- and limestone… Time leaving its marks of ellipses and lines with which every pebble gives us it own
story.
Our beach is full of
stories.
Natural
circles have been known since the beginning of time, like in the sun, moon,
whirls in water or wind. They have been observed and have inspired our
civilisation to develop geometry, astronomy and many inventions.
We say
that every circle is a magic circle, a sacred circle. In a circle of people
coming together an extra energy of spirit is present.
We draw a circle of protection. I remember drawing a large
circle during a quest in the Sahara desert to mark my territory; creating a
safe space. At home in the
Findhorn community to attune at the start and end of a gathering or job as well
as to bless the food we come together in a circle while holding hands.
And the circle is holding us.
‘Holding the Circle- The Circle Holding Us’
was part of a photoArt exhibition in the Blue Angel Café in the Universal Hall
Findhorn in October - November 2012 with other canvas photowork.
