A Place for a Prayer

These Stones are Pocasset Prayers
At a Pocasset Place for Prayers
   A Cathedral Open to the Sky
For as long as anyone can remember...
Cora Pierce photos, cropped to show details (shells).

These Stones are Pootatuck Prayers,
At a Pootatuck Place for Prayers,
  A Bear, a Deer and a fire starter base
Sitting on a Hillside, hidden and almost forgotten...


These Stones are
A Guarding Big Snake, who knows your intentions
As you pause to pass, offer tobacco in a small stone bowl
       beside a small Manitou Stone...

These Stones are at a place called Hammonasset,
A Prayer for the Spirit of the Diamondback,
  Another Place for a shell full of tobacco,
On a hillside above where this Turtle was once found in great numbers...

(Please note: The shells in all of my photos were not found "in situ.") 
The Bear shown above was found "in situ" - which literally means "stationary" or "still" but it actually isn't always meant to stay still:
