Story & Experience
Autumn and I did our exchange at Wyman Park on Saturday. We saw the shape of the woven material on the ground and it seemed to suggest a bird with wings, so we decorated from there to create our RadJoy Bird. We had two mallards just leisurely swimming around and eating while we were there. What came to us was how different the sense of time is for us (humans) vs. for the earth. This place has only been wounded for such a short time in earth time, while in our brief time it feels like such a long time. And should humans somehow not exist, nature would just recover and go forth healing and adjusting. It felt humbling.
