Summer Solstice

Today I got up at 2am with my sister, walked in the dark and the rain through Amesbury, over fields until we reached Stonehenge. I have done it. We walked straight through into the centre of the ring and I touched the stones for the first time. They felt warm to me despite the temperature. The atmosphere was incredible, there was so much love in that one place, we were all there for the same reason. Even the fact that we could not see the sunrise did not dampen our soggy spirits! It was incredible. I then walked barefoot back through the wet grass back to the house we were staying at. I am exhausted now, I drove 420 miles to do this, I have had 2 hours sleep but I feel alive and the only word I can use to describe it is cleansed. I feel free as a bird, in control of me. I have done something I always wanted to do. Even my sister said that now I am finally living.
