It was surreal to pull into this wide open space where the land simply meanders so open and free, and then to see this iconic figure….I've seen it in books, on posters, magazines, and on TV undoubtedly more times than I can count…..but to behold it in person is totally different…..the stones are so massive, the land surrounding so green and so relatively free of pebbles, let alone boulders, let alone rocks sized for giants. Fascinating. It's a mystery for sure with many interesting suggestions in an attempt to offer explanation. It remains a mystery in my mind however, and is a beautiful memory….it's an early chapter in man's story of asserting his significance, and a lasting reminder of his drive for legacy….another example of his need to know and be known. It's a story from another time and place, but it sounds a lot like my own story……without the intersection of physics and crazy heavy rocks.
