It is 5.30 this morning and the cat joins in with the music below, which I will listen to throughout the day. Musical art through Stonehenge. There is something of Oscar Wilde in Erland Cooper, a composer from Scotland.
'Carve the Rune then be content with Silence' at Stonehenge.

Also what else have I picked up over the weekend. Well there is this beautiful rock crystal Roman, perfume bottle perhaps? so small, but so intricate found in the Viking era where it was altered. Listen to Dr. Martin Goldberg on this small treasure and look at its design and visualise its journey from Iran to Scotland, to be buried in the Galloway Viking Hoard. To be so tenderly cleaned and analysed, it was also wrapped in a piece of cloth which gives information about weaving. So much evidence, so much work.
And last, but not least, a Grimshaw painting of a nocturnal scene. It captures the moody sadness of Autumn, the dank cold air as night approaches. The soul becomes sad on days like this.

As we have experienced many changes of seasons, one would think we would become used to the changes and embrace each season as they arrive, but we don't.
