Upon reaching St Constantine's Well - smack in the middle of Trevose golf course, I descended the ten slate steps to the base of the well. I was rather perturbed to see an empty plastic water bottle in the well so I removed it to recycle.
We sat upon the edge on pieces of slate sipping tea from our thermos and soaked up the atmosphere from this holy place. The well spoke, albeit gentle and I felt I had to strain to listen with a mere human ear to its message.
Earth, air, fire, water, the perfect balance of unity as I agitated the crystal water with a corvid gift from the winged ones at this special place.
