#69 Peace Bird chillin’ with the reading lion in the University City Library, St Louis MO

Howdy Maker Tribe! I'm participating in a project called "Create Peace Birds." At this very opportune moment, I've been asked to place this sweet no. 69 bird in a public space. I chose the U City Library, and then will post her message of Peace to FB, Twitter and Tumbler (or any choice of social connection) in hopes someone will stop, reflect and maybe move her to a different public space to reach even a different group of folk.

If you see her, take a pic or move her to your favorite public space. #69 Bird, ‪#‎Create‬Peacebirds, ‪#‎HeartfeltCreate‬
