Story & Experience
It was really fantastic to share this event with a friend. We saw all this construction in the town and choose that as a place to honor. We honored what came before the new building and had a joyous time finding beauty all around through the process of making art.
I felt so connected to my friend while diving into the amazing beauty of the place.
We named the place “smooth rock croc”
Again, I was taken by how this pause and appreciation of place added layers of love and harmony to my daily experience. The pause really brought me back into a wider perspective of our impact on the natural world.
