In her honor we rowed to Thea's Park for High Tea. Stories were shared, little origami boats were made, and sang Voski's song. In addition we drank copious amounts of Life boat tea and ate from a table full of delicious savories and sweets. As the day passed we saw signs of her presence - Dingle, the harbor seal, her shy WOWer water friend stayed at the mouth of the waterway all day long splish splashing and eating fish. As we looked out to the Bay we spotted an unusual sight coming right toward us - it was Lady Washington with sails luffing. Truly a special sighting. Equally special was seeing the Tacoma Boat Builders boat, Elder Spirit, being rowed out and sails raised. Voski would have been so proud of the youth and leaders. We know Voski would have howled when HAT Overboard! was shouted out! The hat was saved and once again we were reminded of our brave little friend. As the day came to a close seeing two tugs (A Crowley and maybe a Foss?) working together to bring in a barge reinforced her mantra to work together.
Witnessing this grand day and celebration we were reminded of what Voski stood for.
That was to:
- Do your best
- Be creative and give it your all
- Work with life as if it were the tides. Learn to go with the flow.
- Open the circle to others
- Believe in yourself
- Be amazed by everything
- Celebrate often
- Keep learning
- Support Life
- Connect to Source
We love you Voski!
