The marble features a woman’s face, river lines, and the daughter towns along its banks — a story carved in stone.

Before the stone was set, I tucked a handwritten note beneath it, to stay with it always.

Go see it in person at Ocmulgee Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park and stay tuned for Phase II, when the bronze stickball player joins the story.

This sculpture honors those who came before us and welcomes back those returning to the beginning. I had the joy of collaborating with my daughter on the design.
