My Mother the Wind

On Peirce Island there’s a sculpture — part figurehead, part mermaid, goddess, mother, wind, warrior — propelled (I swear) right toward the Ring.

Whether we come from down the street, out of state, or another continent entirely — aren’t we all leaning forward, ready to take that next step?

Keen to land somewhere safe and meaningful?

From my Ring-shaped heart,

Margherita

Maybe, next time you come to the theatre, park on Peirce Island and go say hello to “My Mother the Wind” by Cabot Lyford. ***For Those Who Sailed Here to Find a New Life***
