to love life, to love it even
when you have no stomach for it
and everything you’ve held dear
crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,
your throat filled with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you, its tropical heat
thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs;
when grief weights you down like your own flesh
only more of it, an obesity of grief,
you think, How can a body withstand this?
Then you hold life like a face
between your palms, a plain face,
no charming smile, no violet eyes,
and you say, yes, I will take you
I will love you, again.

The joy is growing! 🍄✨

I am absolutely in love with the incredible details being woven into every corner of 🌈

For so many years, these ideas lived only in my imagination. And now, thanks to the talented team at , they’re becoming real.

Every toadstool, critter, carving, and hidden detail has been thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity and connection.

There will be tiny discoveries waiting at every visit. Meaningful symbols to uncover.
References to our local wildlife and ecosystem to explore and learn from.

This playground isn’t just a place to play —it’s a place to wonder.

And seeing it come to life is pure magic. 💜

All ages. All abilities. All joy.

I got to stand beneath the Magical Tree and look up at the sky… and completely lost my breath. Tears welled. My heart soared.

I can already hear the joyful sounds to come. See the friendships forming. Feel the possibility of meaningful belonging.

After dreaming, designing, fundraising, advocating, and waiting for so many years…

It’s getting really good, you guys.

Come take this walk-through with me.
