Spot: Tridge
Overview of spot:
Along with visiting the Dow Gardens I also visited the Tridge.
Now looking at this spot through the lens of reflection it becomes a great metaphor for choices, you have options even when it feels like you don’t. And there isn’t always a path you have to take. You get to choose how you grieve or how (or when) to process your feelings.
