It was a great day in each young man’s life when he raised the stone from the ground and ‘gave it wind’, as they said. And if he raised it to his knees, he was a champion, the equal of the best. And if he raised it to his chest he was a hero, a phenomenon of strength and men talked of him.It was the rediscovery of this stone that led my guest, David Keohan (@_indiana_stones_) to the rediscovery of 50 plus lifting stones in Ireland that were almost completely lost to time. This is also the stone that was the inspiration for Liam O’Flaherty’s short story titled “The Stone”. Enjoy hearing David’s journey in reclaiming a portion of Ireland’s identity that had been lost. And in a way, you could say that this stone brought back the culture of Irish stonelifting, so sit back and enjoy as we have at it discussing all things MOUILÍN PORT BHÉAL AN DÚN.The Stone by Liam O’FlahertyArticle: The Quest for the Stone of Inishmore by David KeohanGoFundMe: Rescue the Pudrac Plinth and Wallace Putting Stone BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW OUR SHOW ​​https://pod.link/1772997849
