Show me your broken heart.
For the Greens who changed their minds and looked away and for what? I don't know. The references are to Matthew 27; Pilate's dismissal of Jesus and Numbers 22; Balaam's ass seeing the angel. And a popular fairytale.
Many thanks for that g, and also to handofdave for his limerick - both added to stack.

Jay Ramsay: The Sacred Way

Stonehenge
Sacred, sacrosanct, sanctuary
In the ruins of what was sacred space that we need back:
These monoliths to moon and sun remind us
That we abandoned the stars to ourselves, only to find
That we have no rite for being human
But now as the breeze stirs, and we slow our steps
Where stone breathes we can receive its whispered gift again
Jay Ramsay
From his longer poem The Sacred Way

Zig zag zig,
dance macarbre, cazalis.
Zig ,zag,zig,deathin a cadence,
Striking with his heel a tomb,
Death at midnight plans a dance-tune,
Zig,zag,zig,onhis violin,
The winter wind blows and the night is dark;
Moans are heardin the linden trees.
through the gloom, white skeletons pass,
Running and leaping in their shrouds,
Zig,zag, zig, each one is frisking,
the bones of the dancers are heard to crack,
but hist! of a sudden they quit the round,
They push forward, they fly, the cock has crowed.

(At least some of) Cropredy's posts have disappeared because Cropredy outstayed his welcome - because he filled every thread with posts about dowsing until finally he became abusive & was banned.
We Eds are the only people who can delete posts, though we rarely do. But in this case they weren't deleted as such.
We wonder how you know so much about posts that Cropredy made?
TMA Eds.

My apologies to Littlestone, I assumed wrongly that he had removed all of the posts of cropredy from this thread, which were mainly nothing to do with dowsing.
I have appreciated greatly this thread, the influence/s that the sites have and have had on so many are wonderfully reported in this fashion.
It is to your, TMA eds , whoever you are disscredit, that you remove anyones posts, it leaves the place looking as though it is a clique, where only those deemed worthy are tolerated .
Hardly a balanced overview, of after all ,an unknown quantity, the megaliths that is.
Many people who do not contribute to this site read and appreciate the wide and varied opinions posted upon here, pity if it just a one sided opinion?

Unbelievable,
As stated, it is very rare that we delete posts and the posts you are referring to were not deleted. Any ban is based on the terms and conditions, and we only ban people under extreme provocation.
As a result our decisions are NOT open to discussion. If people do not like our very occasional moderation of the boards, they are welcome to go elsewhere.
Finally, if it comes to our attention that someone has come back under a different name they will be VERY lucky to be tolerated, even if their behaviour is impeccable.

Displaced
souls of our ancestors
Once in a circle to the seasons
sure security to all who saw them
Buffer stones now on a busy street
where juggernauts thunder by
their secret story
still known
to a few
For the rest
just buffer stones
where our history lies dusty
at the feet of rubber wheels
and on the piled desks
of an immovable bureaucracy
Anon
