I have wanted to visit Anglesey for an awfully long time. It was the last stronghold of the druids during the Roman invasion, and some say that it is the heart of the UK Neolithic landscape. It is home to the famous Bryn Celli Ddu (‘the mound in the dark grove’), whose passage is aligned to the summer solstice sunrise, which also has what many believe to be a pillar of petrified wood contained within , which is really rather remarkable.

I stumbled across a quote a few years ago now, which I was reminded of as the dust settled after the new moon blast of insight.

It goes something like, ‘the thing that screws us up the most in life, is our idea of how it is meant to be’.

This is so true!

And of course inherent within this is the idea of how we have been conditioned to believe it is meant to be so.
