THE WINGS OF HISTORY
from a bluebird of happiness right now. The pandemic, politics, and unrest in the United States are impossible to ignore. A lot of author Donald L. Miller points out in his interview (P. 20), you can’t understand modern America without understanding the Civil War. Watch the short documentary that I profiled in a June First Monday’s Facebook broadcast. It details how the battlefield has helped to rejuvenate the bluebird population on the East Coast. Those contested Maryland fields have come full circle, from blood-soaked devastation to tranquil protectors of life. It will give you a sense of peace, and provide you yet another example of the legacy created by people blue, gray, black, and white who struggled through the conflict. Their actions continue to resonate and impact us. That is history.
