The living story

The story so far

A red-crowned crane who dances. Mated pairs leap, bow, and throw sticks in the air in ballets that last for minutes — joy made visible at six feet tall. In Japan she is a symbol of a thousand years of happiness.

Happening now

The dance continues. She is in no hurry. She has time — a thousand years of it.

What may come

This year's dance will be the longest yet. The mate is practicing the high leap.

Why someone keeps Grus

  • because she dances — leaps, bows, throws sticks in the air — and you keep the joy made visible
  • because in Japan she is a thousand years of happiness, and you want a millennium of it
  • because she is in no hurry and has time, and you need to borrow some

The Tidewing

Seabirds, waders, and divers: albatrosses, puffins, penguins, kingfishers, and cranes — the flock that belongs to the water’s edge and the open ocean.
