Dream Catcher: reflect

Thank you to all fo my wonderful volunteers, friends, family that supported me through this.  It became apparent that this process was just not about public art; it was truly about you.  New friends arose, stories were told, and laughs were shared.  If you go to the structure, stand in the middle, and maybe you'll notice a silent and peaceful feeling knowing that all of your positive thoughts are becoming manifested and all of your negative thoughts will disintegrate as the morning sun shines upon the Dream Catcher.

Scissor Lift Day: Thanks Clint from Liftex for going above and beyond for me.  I don't know what salesman goes to your site and inspects it for you to determine what model of scissor lift would be best suited for the application. Thanks Trev for having your lift ticket to operate this monster and showing me the ropes ;)
