Who's heard of Stonehenge?  The world famous enigmatic stone structure in northern England has steadfastly withstood all attempts to decipher its precise meaning.  Generations of anthropologists, historians, and astronomers have sought to unpack its secrets, but to no lasting avail.  Regardless, Stonehenge today remains a major draw for a wide range of people, most of whom come from thousands of miles away to step into its mystery.

    And ponder what it means.  To ponder what a structure built in the third millennium BCE means for us today.  Perhaps the most that we can say about Stonehenge is that it testifies to the remarkable resilience of the human quest for meaning.  While we may never know exactly what the creators of Stonehenge had in mind when they designed and built it, we can certainly come away in awe of what it says about the human being.

    We love puzzles, we love mysteries.  We love to poke into things we do not understand.  And what greater thing to poke into than who we, frail and mighty human beings, really are?

    Is this cold and impersonal universe really all that is?
