calming

Yesterday morning I gave in to my dislike of crowds and decided to drive to the coast instead of heading into Boston to participate in the Women's March. I sent thoughts and strong wishes for change to the march while absorbing the peace I felt in the ocean's accompaniment to my walk.

Parker River National Wildlife Refuge provides calm and peace to people in addition to meeting the needs of birds and wildlife. I'm happy to have ready access to such a beautiful place.
