All of the water on the planet is connected and thus provides a common connection for people no matter where or how they live. There is, however, another aspect of this connection – the emotional connection to water that all humans feel to one degree or another. It is something that we share, and it is so basic to our existence. To that end, the Maine Humanities Council is undertaking a discussion project called “To stand by the edge of the sea.” MHC is involved in many projects throughout the state designed to bring people from a variety of audiences together to discuss a common topic. This is one of 24 discussion groups that will be held this spring across ten counties in Maine directed at women from Maine.
