What is recorded here

Stand behind the stone at Ballygamboon Upper, look through its holes, and the mountains beyond seem to lean inward like listeners. The stone does not explain itself; it waits for the person stupid enough to stop speaking. What it shows may be love, warning, or a joke written in rock, but the sudden clarity in your chest proves the transaction is real.
