Mudlarking on the River, Part 2

Our story tonight is called Mud Larking on the River, Part 2, and it’s a story about a search for ordinary treasures in the sand on a bright spring morning. It’s also about a coin with a hole through its center, the red and white pole of a barber shop, forsythia stems and curiosity and imagination and seeing the things around us with new eyes. We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the Maui Nui Marine Resource Council. Working for healthy coral reefs, clean ocean water, and abundant native fish.
