Highland Winter

Sun and snow at midwinter, Aviemore

No, it hasn’t snowed… the days have been warm, mild and rather gloomy, and I’ve not been out with the camera, so here is an image from midwinter three years ago.  I really appreciate snow, when it comes, for brightening up our dark winter days.

This week’s quote – tuning in to a sense of the Divine in the landscape:

“Psychogeology states that our minds are shaped by the landscape around us.  Few of us stop to think when  choosing a home that the geology on which it sits may deeply impact our energetic or cognitive functioning.  But our ancestors were aware.  Attuned to the nuances of the landscape and its underlying geology, they knew how to harness and manipulate natural forces in the landscape to affect human behaviour.  That’s why they sited their sacred places where they did – not for easy accessibility, but because the land itself was special, numinous, powerful, and divine.”
