What a lady! That massive Amazonian Beauty has a permanent and enduring grace surrounding her. Her patina is the richest verde and at the her density is light at the same time as being so weighted, it’s inexplicable.
On top of the power of being in her presence, looking back to the skyline of Manhattan and Brooklyn is magnificent. To imagine the history the statue’s eyes have been a witness to over New York’s development blows my mind.
Dreaming of the history by the incredible experience of touring through Ellis Islands immigration building. To think, ancestors on my father’s side walked in these same halls where i see children uninterested, playing tag was so impactful. The filtering of people through this space has colored the cultural texture of our nation.
It seems as though social consciousness was birthed here, by the groups that formed to help these green minds adjust to their new world. I was personally so excited when I saw that a woman named Ludmila Kuchar Foxalee (what a great name!) who worked with the New York yWca helping immigrant women and children. I of course felt instantly connected to this woman’s enormous heart to uplift fellow women in need. It is a great reminder that the choices you make will change the world! Who knows!? Maybe, had Ms. Foxalee not supported this organization at its start, there would not today be a Santa Monica/Westside yWca and I would not have had the chance to help young girls in my community. Suddenly, that history string was folded in half for me. Incredible!
It is a gorgeous city!
