“A little piece is cut out of the world, marked off in fact by its richness in significances. So an island appears to be mappable. Already a little abstracted from reality, already half-concept, it holds out the delusion of comprehensible totality”.

The folds and fractures of the stone pull me towards a clearer direction.
In the fields, forests and beaches close to home we walk in circles around one another, using each other as our centre.
A piece of string connects us, much like in her swollen belly a few decades ago.
We walk to find meaning and to etch our presence, a trace which fades within minutes, an hour at most.
What memory does the land hold? What does it remember of us?

Sitting between a farm shed and a derelict house, along the old route that stretches from Ráth Cruachan to Cruach Phádraig, its surroundings do not belie its significance.
I trace the ridges of the markings on the stone, first with my finger, then with paper and pencil. I feel for time encrusted in the stone.
I wonder whose hands carved it.
