      I simply don’t know what to say other than
      talk about getting stoned

      I heard the stones were even older
      they were used by
      “ The Original Peoples”
      Who were Known to walk
      among the Cedars
      they were called doorways into the soul

      Cool.... I was imagining more of an round patch rather than an aviator shape. Pretty neat!
