 " I am one

 who is fond of 

olden times

 and intense in quest 

of the sacred knowing

 of the ancients.  "

Gustave Courbet

" Some are so very 

studious 

of learning what was done

 by the ancients

 that they know not

 how to live

 with the 

moderns.  "

William Penn"

 “ Reflection is 

a flower of the mind,
 giving out

 wholesome fragrance ”

 Desiderius Erasmus

 “ But who will watch my lilies, 

 When their blossoms open white? 

By day the sun shall be sentry, 

 And the moon and the stars by night!”

Bayard Taylor

 " The snowdrop and primrose

 our woodlands adorn, 

and violets bathe 

in the wet o' the morn.  "

Robert Burns

Ah the ancients.

How did they do it?

Building things,

unimaginably heavy

things;

Voyaging

across  oceans

vast.

How?

Modern theories are often

untested-

Old stories

tell of magic

and gods.

There is a stone

not far from here

at the gates of Punahou School

that our president passed

daily there

as a school boy.

Actually, the stone

by the gate

is just a fragment

of the original 

Pohaku.

[ Link ]

There remains

an old legend 

about the moving 

of the great Pohaku: 

" This is not a stone,
it is a man "

The stone that 

walked

like a man.

sounds cool, right?

Well below is a video

of a large stone

"walking"

with the help of 

some friends
right here
on this island.

It may clear up

an enduring mystery

about the great Moai

of Rapa Nui.

 ( "Easter Island" )
