In the spirit of this week's discussion of what makes a community, how we find our place within communities, and how we contribute to them, I had encouraged everyone to go check out the installation of this GIANT HAMMOCK in the Rose Kennedy Greenway between Atlantic Ave and Congress St (near South Station). Some of us spoke up about the lack of connection or interaction with our fellow man in today's society. We are less open, energy is bound up inside us...we can feel so lonely surrounded by people. At school, at work, on the bus, along the sidewalk...I feel as though there are few opportunities that really bring us together in creative and curious ways. Plus, I think we could all appreciate a mid-afternoon nap in the late-summer sun while the cool breeze soothes our tense muscles and eases our mind as we sway and sway...
So get down there to literally rub shoulders with strangers before the permit expires on September 4th!
PS- The 4,278 feet of rope is made from recycled bottles!!!
