As a young person I worked in the Parks system. I was Actually on the Graffiti Removal crew! Ironic considering I am an artist. But last night I dreamt of something I think related to your plight.<br /><br />In my dream, my daughter and I were escaping the monstrous West Coast Fires and heading somewhere else to go to college. As I walked around a certain Park grounds I noticed a kestrel falcon or a hawk lying dead on the grass with some of the feathers ceremonially removed. When I awoke , I tried to check in with my higher consciousness about ‘what does this mean?’ What came to me was that’ something is dying in or around the East River. I know it is cooky but I started googling the East River today and I am Just learning this story about the potential destruction of the park! The first image that I saw was that art piece of a woman with a falcon or hawk alive and well on her arm!! <br /><br />I don’t know what to make if this synchronicity, but I want all of you to know who are in this fight to save the park, that we are connected. Even the entire country apart, somehow your heart and prayers and wishes have reached through the mystery and tapped me on the shoulder. If you know who that particular artist is, please give them my story. And to all of you keeping the faith throughout these times. Thank you.. , your good works matter and will never be forgotten 🌹🌹🌹🙏🏽Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-65618454837903345552020-10-12T16:56:14.456-04:002020-10-12T16:56:14.456-04:00How can the City afford to still pay for this proj...How can the City afford to still pay for this project? The Covid 19 epidemic has caused a budget deficit of over 8 billion dollars. They have already issued furloughs to NYC employees and are still talking about over 20,000 layoffs. Where is the economical sense in this???
