Leo- in New Mexico there is a Church built over a hole.. I went there and stood in a long line to get some holy dirt.. they only allow small amounts per person.. the path to and all the areas around place is full of wheel chairs and crutches and crosses of all kinds and sizes.. a man ther laughingly told us thast the priest re-filled the hole every night.. I looked it up later and they do indeed re-fill the hole.. the ground there is supposed to be healing..
Jingle~ I am often squatted or laying on the ground or in this case a tank to make a picture..
