Friday at MaineWorks Circle is often a day to invite community friends and MaineWorks alum and employees that go directly to the job site in the morning. Today the circle of employees was large....and it felt exciting to see everyone. Handsome. Ready to go. Despite the struggles. Around this circle there are tales of near death, incarceration, lives given up on, the depravity of meaninglessness, the fractured lives from addiction and substance abuse. There's a vitality to the moment. Possibility tempered with a presence, an in-the-moment attention to rivet energy. This is what recovery can look like.
