That small red smudge is a cardinal that had been resting on the vine covered awning outside the Arboretum. I believe that if you create the space for beauty and love, then beauty and love will flourish. Even if some beautiful things are fleeting, and prone to fly away. The communities we make and participate in while we are at college are often impermanent. Still, their beauty and importance cannot be understated, and more will surely follow in their wake. So long as students are given the space, resources, and freedom to create them.
