Today I reflect on the wonders of nature and I thank the Great Mother Goddess for the life force of all creatures great and small. I revel in every moment I spend in communion with nature. ~ Pamela J. Leavey

As I watch this Spring explode with fresh life, from new leaves on the trees and flowers, to baby bunnies and wrens, I am grateful for all the gifts of Mother Nature. Today, I thank the Great Mother Goddess for all her blessings and abundance… ~ Pamela J. Leavey

“Today, I seek to recognize every blessing that comes my way, from the Morning Dove who’s song wakes me, to the gentle breeze that blows through my open window. I thank the Great Mother Goddess today, for these and all blessings found in nature, that pass my way.” – Pamela J. Leavey

It’s been three and a half weeks since I last walked On The Parker River Path. The beaver dam pictured above was a familiar sight as we hiked Hellcat Swamp at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge.
I learned while walking the Parker River Path to watch for nature’s changes each hike, as nature’s changes were life’s changes.
Sometimes we build a dam around us for protection. Sometimes we soar over the trees filled with joy. There are days when our lives are filled with turbulent winds and days when we light up like the sun.
I keep the lessons of the Parker River Path close to my heart right now, until I can walk that path again. The lessons of the Parker River Path give me faith that the Great Mother Goddess is always with us. She is the primal heartbeat within us all.

My heart beats wildly
In the arms of Mother Nature…
And I could dance with abandon
Like the bare trees in winter…
I am so in love
With the Great Mother Goddess…

Having your right foot in a cast is truly a pain in the a**. I’m not sure what is most annoying about it all, but not being able to drive is a big one. It’s tough being stuck in house and dependent on family and friends for supplies, etc…
I also sorely miss my hiking at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Maudsley State Park and along Point Shore in Amesbury. Before I started hiking a few weeks ago, a good drive along the river to Plum Island always served to clear my head.
Thankfully, my hiking partner came by to rescue me on Monday and we took a wonderful drive along the Merrimack River, from Amesbury, through Merrimack and Rock’s Village and then over the Rock’s Village Bridge and back along River Road in West Newbury (my early childhood stomping grounds).
We were looking for Bald Eagles which have been here in smaller numbers this season. The Bald Eagle proved to be elusive on Monday, but we treated to a sighting of 4 – 6 Eastern Bluebirds… Yes, that’s right, the Blue Bird Of Happiness.
