The Power of Prayer

By Pam Montgomery

  Spring is such a special time of year, perhaps, because I am blessed with my own birth during these days so I personally feel an especially potent quality to this time of renewal. This year, on the morning of my birth, I rise early and am at my “sit spot” along Sweetwater stream just […]

Come Sit by My Fire

By Pam Montgomery

Fire has always been the element that seems magical to me. It astounds me that wood of the earth along with air transforms into light and heat and then water douses the flame. What an amazing interchange fire has with the three other foundational elements! The other quality of fire that is unlike the other […]

We were blessed to find ourselves about […]

By Pam Montgomery

Isn’t it wonderful when you step outside the door and a spring breeze wafts through the air caressing your skin with its warm embrace? In that moment you stand still with your face upturned to the sun and you take a deep breath that becomes an ah-h-h-h. In this subtle but undeniable moment you feel […]

Live the Life You Love

By Pam Montgomery

 Hi, I'm Pam.

I am an Earth elder who loves to write. Like all writers I have my dry spells and then my rainy season. So it may be that you won't hear from me for a while and then suddenly I can't turn the faucet off.

I have a vision of writing a book called Light on Water  which will be reflections on nature intermingled with love, life and loss. Some of these pieces here have inspired me to consider a compilation of nature writings.

Because I have passionately embraced my role as a spokesperson for the green beings I want to bring more pieces to you about my love affair with plants.

For me, writing about what I love is like a homecoming and a journey worth taking. Thank you for joining me on this adventure.
