In 1836, when Isaac er the USA was 60, the stone pair "twins" were reunited as one and placed at the head of the corner. At a much later time (after ~1920, but before the top two out of five soul er floor levels were removed), the disembodied ghost hand appeared overhead.
The Point in this case is that it looks like the hand is dropping the ball, or dropping a yarmulke down on the head [of the corner].
Of course that has long reminded me of a song that goes like this:
There must have been some magic
In that yarmulke they found,
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around.
Spirited!
Now that the Christmas movie has been filmed there (in the Fall, with the fake snow)... the scene is complete. Well almost:
The sketchy lore (like the traditions about David's genealogy) is that the stone marked the zero point of Boston (aka New Jerusalem, "The Hub") to measure distances out from the city's center.
If miles were years, the Western calendar does just that. And like with the exact date of the start of the calendar, there's the debate over the 'real story' -- that the stone was not ever the zero point.
Seems to me that The Point is moot as well as missed.
The origin point of a Revolution *is* the axis (tzir, "cheer"). Or as on the earlier diagram of space, coordinates x, y, z at (0, 0, 0).
Heh, which is how to draw a snowman.
Frosty the Golem
Is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow,
But the children know
How he came to life one day.
0-0-0 what kind of secret combination code is that?!
It's a weird little world out there. Living parables.
1 x 7 x 3 x 7 = 147, the address of The Point.

And for those who can stand just a wee bit more...
Boston [ΧΧΧ‘ΧΧΧ] = 133 and...
Psalm 133Hip Hip, Hooray!1. A Song of Maalot of David; Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity:
2. It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that runs down upon the beard, Aaron's beard, that runs down to the hem of his garments:
3. Like the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life for evermore:
Looped in with the midrash about Esau's head rolling into the cave (I'm just relaying what's out there) is the teaching that Esau was supposed to be a Patriarch, but he failed in his mission. Then in the weirdest way he ended up buried in the Cave of the Patriarchs (his head, anyway).
Four Patriarchs, not just the three.
Here's where I looked at these odd puzzle pieces and said you know what, if there were more than three Patriarchs, that would definitely break the Rule, so that can't work. Can't break the rules.
Then again, it's a paradox because everyone could benefit from a second opinion: rules were meant to be broken. How to solve, to break but not to break?
Here's where I compared the cave story of Jacob buried with Esau's head, with the stone itself and noticed that the eponymous "Boston Stone" at the head of the corner is two stones, yet singular. Not stones, plural, but one, named the same as the city that adds up to 133:
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity.*
Problem solved. Not two, but one. Ergo, it still adds up to the Three Patriarchs.
That might be yet another reason why Joseph was named "He will add."

Tough sell. That's why in order to make it happen it had to have already happened. Then who could argue? Who could get out of the deal? Haha. Time is putty.
