Counterclockwise

Have you heard of vortexes, leys,
places of intersecting energy fields,
natural power lines in the earth
magnetic perhaps?
Places often sacred
from ancient times and civilizations:
Native American, Celtic.

There's one at 44th and Upton,
Stonehenge is a famous one.
The trees are twisted in these places,
clockwise or counter clock wise
and with old, new age wisdom
the intersections can be divined
with an amethyst dangling on a chain,
the stone swinging in circles,
sometimes 600rpm!
According to the initiated,
clockwise movement actualizes ones dreams,
counterclockwise movement brings release.

The ronda goes counter clockwise.

On PBS there is a travel program about Turkey.
It show the famous Sunni dervishes
spinning in their trances,
turning counterclockwise.
I watch carefully
and get up off the couch to try it,
to be sure of the direction.

Wonder what they know
about the mysteries of counterclockwise motion
on the human heart.
