It is one of the greatest mysteries of the Isle of Avalon that two different healing springs, one touched red with iron, the other white with calcite, should rise within a few feet of each other from the caverns beneath Glastonbury Tor. Both have healing in their flow, and the one depicted is called the Glastonbury White Spring.
“The best place for discovering what a man is is the heart of the desert. Your plane has broken down, and you walk for hours.. You arrive and you find an old sergeant who has been isolated for months.. he is so happy to be found that he weeps. And you weep, too. ..Each tells the story of his life, each offers the other the burden of memories in which the human bond is discovered. Here two men can meet, and they bestow gifts upon each other with the dignity of ambassadors.” Saint-Exupéry
