Left brain - right brain. Use them both and you get close. I have never felt power/energy coming from stones, but something in me responds to them in their setting. I don't know what it is, but its much greater than the sum of the parts - the parts being the stones, the landscape and me.

20 years ago I met an old farm worker in a Wiltshire pub - when he asked me where I was going, I said Stonehenge. "Just a lot of old stones" he replied. Believe it or not, I met him again last month and he told me that he was nearly 90! He asked me again where I was going. This time I said Avebury. "Just a load of old stones in a field" he replied contemptuously. Yet here was a man who had worked on the land that we think is so special. He had seen and felt nothing and would have been one with the stonebreakers of Avebury. Its ALL in the perception. He had to make a living from the land - we can afford to stand and stare. Ploughman, scientist, engineer, artist or megarak - all things to all people.
