Sarah Parsons of Lewiston walks Thursday in Thorncrag Bird Sanctuary in Lewiston. “This is the first time in a while that I have been able to get out and focus on spirituality because the world is so busy all the time,” the writer and rap artist said. Parsons said she hiked a lot with family when she was a child. “It’s nice to focus on what life is about. It’s just so nice that the sun happens to be out.” Daryn Slover/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
