A hope for everyone, everywhere when searching for a home is to have nice neighbors. Being surrounded by warm and friendly people with whom to experience daily life, celebrate milestone, watch each other's children grow, comfort each other in times of crisis or mourning and help each other as we each take turns being in need.
The tokens within this sculpture represent my love and gratitude for all the nice neighbors in my life both past and present. There are scores more, the sculpture would be bursting if I listed them all so I will just carry them in my heart:
