The Hyde Park Community Wind Phone is Here at the Library
"After the death of his cousin in 2020, a man named Itaru Sasaki built a phone booth in his garden as a way to deal with his grief. Although the phone was disconnected, Sasaki believed his words rode the wind to his loved one. A year later ,when a tsunami struck his coastal town of Otsuchi, thousands of mourners flocked to the phone booth to connect to their missing loves ones."
The idea of a wind phone resonated with people and they have begun popping up all over the world, including ours here at the Lanpher Library, which is funded by a grant from the Vermont Department of Libraries and the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
The Hyde Park Wind Phone is a beautiful place for those who need a silent listener.
Sometimes we have words that need to come out...we are grieving, we need to connect with our higher power, or somebody we've lost, sometimes feelings can be too much to hold...
Use this brave space to have an intentional and planned connection to a loved one or to the energy all around you. Simply pick up the phone receiver and talk. We invite you to send your words into the wind.
Please help us keep your Wind Phone safe and clean.
