Great stuff Tom. Whilst I think views like that quarry are awesome, I can't help but think that humans are again leaving great wounds in the planet that won't heal.
It's a "clean" wound though Robert, all that employment and productivity with relatively little pollution.
Camas, the quarry owners, have also donated and landscaped many acres of beautifully diverse woodland and wetland in lieu of the scar. not a bad trade-off IMHO.
The voice is a strange one. Have you ever had that type of experience before? I would have freaked!
Mad. Yes, I have had that kind of expedience before, but I always find a rational explanation, (a la Andrew T) but my mother reminds me that this is part of my heritage and tells me not to fight it.
I agree with your mother. you should culture it, not fight it. Dont get me wrong, even though i would be scared if i heard something, i would be happy as i like to think we all have these kind of abilities but just dont develop them. we have lost a lot of the old ways:(
I agree with the wound bit. It annoys me when i see acres of forrest ripped down and the scars that makes on the land is not a clean wound. The beauty i see in the quarry is the inner layers of the rock and the formations. Then the images in my head about how it got like that. Its so interesting but most people dont see it. A lot of folk dont stop to study a blade of grass or a budding flower and pay no attention to the simple things around us. We have closed our eyes to things that actually matter in the world and mother nature in my opinion is under-valued in todays society by many........................
