At the solstice, the sun rises exactly where the builders aimed it five thousand years ago, and for a few minutes the light comes through the stones and lands where the cattle graze beyond. Whatever they were doing here, it was timed to the turning of the sky and the movement of the herd. The calendar and the cattle were the same thing once. They will be again.
the calendar and the cattle were the same thing. that reframed 5000 years for me in one sentence
we still move the herd by the solstice up here. didn't realize we were doing stonehenge the whole time
