High in the hills in the area know as the Lake District in England, I stood in the entrance of what was at one time a Roman Fort. (Hardknot pass) The Gate hinges were still in place, the whole area showed outlines of the original parade ground, and bath house. The walls of the fort and encampment area, were covered by grass and scub brush; but the outlines still showed as man made intrusions. The power of nature is such, that if we left the concrete untouched long enough, the wild flowers and ghosts would reclaim the meadow. Perhaps, in the distant future, your meadow will return. Yours,Aye. Dave
