Story & Experience

Edgerly Bird

My daughter Evan and I went to the USM factory site, now the Cummings Center and we were happy to see the results of 10 years of remediation. We were first greeted by a pair of ducks followed by dragonflies, an array of birds, colorful flowers and butterflies and lastly a pair of squirrels. We created this “bird” using seeds—leaving some joy behind. We also received joy and we were healed by being together in this act of Radical Joy for Hard Times!!
