One of my favorite trees in one of my favorite places -- the "Riding Oak" of Newbury (Quascacunquen -- Agawam word for "waterfall", referring to the nearby Parker River). The tree is located by the Little River, at the base of "Old Town Hill", in the middle of the "Great Marsh" of Newbury, MA. The marsh is being restored to its natural state after being chopped up for salt hay harvesting years ago.

For this #SilentSunday... An image taken earlier this week of a place where my friends and I had #Beltaine / #MayDay rituals years ago. I'm not sure if #ThomasMorton had ever visited #Newbury, but if he had visited #Quascacunquen / #OldTownHill, I'm sure he would have wanted to erect a Maypole there. Now under the stewardship of the Trustees of Reservations, there is a circle of 12 large rocks around a tree there now -- and evidence that even today, folks are still having rituals atop this sacred spot!
