Transformation Through Forgiveness Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

OzGuff: On a quick Maggie/Cherokee/Bryson trip to check on caches. All OK here but I have decided to archive it due to the distance between here and Asheville. Thanks to all who visited!

(And the logsheet was only 75% full!)

(I really like the bears now parked all over Cherokee! I took a photo of the one near this cache.)

Geocache Description:


A truly unique monument though the idea behind the statue is even more unique


In 1991 while visiting a rock yard in Carrera, Italy, Francis Jansen found herself drawn to a large piece of marble. She saw the image of a Native American man lying on the ground and felt compelled to release from the rock the image contained within. Nine months later she completed "Transformation Through Forgiveness." The monument symbolizes and acknowledges the significant cultural impact that our Native American heritage has brought us. The plaque attached to the monument's base reads:

This is a tribute to the Native American peoples and stands symbolically for the healing of all wounds, be they physical, emotional, mental, spiritual or environmental.

"Transformation Through Forgiveness" is a call to all Humankind for reconciliation of man's inhumanity to man, & stands in acknowledgment in celebration of the universal understanding, “One whole nation, One whole world.”

May the eagle soar to ever greater heights and envelope human kind into the profoundness of our higher destiny.

The cache container is a nano so bring your own writing implement. (And a pair of tweezers.) I had to move the cache to a nearby item that can also lead to transformation -- but of a different kind.
