Legend of the Bluebird
In the Native American Tradition
​
"In an ancient Pima tale, the Bluebird is described as having been an ugly color, but then one day
it found a sacred lake where no water ever flowed in or out. The bird bathed in it four times every morning
for four mornings, signing a sacred song. On that fourth morning, it came out of the water with no feathers at all.
When it bathed itself again on the fifth morning, it came out of the sacred lake with its blue feathers.
The Bluebird became a symbol of transformation through sacred song and sacred acts." - Ted Andrews
Amy Lewis Sweetman, founder of AGRISCULPTURE,
was commissioned by the Town of Warwick, NY
to create the Name, Concept, Logo, Masterplan and
Renderings for a new park that existed at that time as
a mere 10 acre parcel of land surrounded by
20 foot tall prison fencing formerly belonging
to the Mid-Orange Correctional Facility.
​
During Amy's first walk on site - with Geoff Howard
and Warwick Tree Commissioner Karen Emmerich - a beautiful Bluebird and its mate flew across Amy's field of vision within the fenced area. Its brilliant color and melodious song brought to her mind - the Native American legend of the Bluebird - the bird of Transformation.
That very day - within the mind of Amy Lewis Sweetman - Transformation Trails was born.
