Rosemary's Blessing: 

May we pray during this graced season of  Lent when we are called to deepen our  awareness of our constant connectedness with God, with all people and with all that exists.

Acknowledging the pain and hurt that comes when we act as if we are disconnected, let us begin this Lenten journey willing to heal, to mend and to be God’s human expression  of love, forgiveness and justice as Jesus taught and modeled for us.

Alpen Glow, evening, from a large granite boulder above one of the best campsites, after descending from Burrow pass, 11k plus, on the shore of Piutte Creek, night 6 or 7, probably night 6 because on night 7 we had an enormous rain, wind, lightening, and thunder storm about 8-9 P.M. Everybody survived the storm quite well.

Stream crossing on the very last day of the 9 days.   A humbling experience for an old ex-Jesuit who thinks he knows the Matterhorn hike like a bike ride around White Rock Lake.  Since the past two Matterhorn hikes had low water in the creeks, so must be the case this year.  Wrong!  High water was everywhere.  Late & heavy snow.  Thanks, Andy, for loaning me your Keene sandals all 8 or 10 times I needed them.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

May the God of the dawn awaken you
May the God of sunrise stir you up
May the God of morning bless your work
May the God of noon renew your strength
May the God of sunset bring you home
May the God of dusk soothe your soul
May the God of night bring you rest.
