As co-founder and president of Friends of Albemarle, a nonprofit for an urban park, I often reflect that the pay is zero but the reward is community, so it’s a pretty good gig.
One benefit: Being part of the Spark Newton mural selection committee and advocating for the mural art of Amanda Bradley Hill.
I walked down to the pool the night it was installed and, yes, soaked it in. These are rainbow trout, busy connecting us to the tributary of the Charles River at our backs and the experience of swimming ahead of us – ensuring we are one with our ecosystem, each other, and ourselves.
I love the detail, the reflections, the simple graphic elements of leaves and lotus flowers.
It is friendly, local, sublime and yet everyday. It’s perfect.
