I just spent two weeks in Malta.. totally amazing in excess of
eight millennium of human habitation and religious records or
relics? how ever you refer to ancient religious ruins. I
actually looked into a well that is in excess of 8,000 yeas old
and there is still water there. To me it seemed a focal point,,
need more time there, much more time. It is hard to imagine and
island whose location has not changed since its habitations the
Phoenicians used its precise location for navigation. The land
topography has not changed since habitation, yes extremely minor
changes..
was a neat place... it allowed for a connection was fascinating
so quiet so inward..

So do I. But then I know that any 'seeming evil' can be
turned into
good at a time that we don't see (and vice versa, of
course); so it's
best to leave judgement to the One who sees all.
