Language of the Rocks
One afternoon as I was scrabbling my way down the steep path on one
side of the Gorge of Samaria, on the island of Crete, I stopped and gazed
up at the opposite sheer cliff and was sure I was looking at a series
of vast petroglyphs--clearly not the work of human hands--etched out
of the living rock.
Although the forms on the cliffs are long lost to memory, the twin snakes moving
in opposite directions, as an Australian aboriginal symbol for time, seemed
an appropriate substitution.
