Rosemary's Blessing:                                  

Gracious God, slow my pace and soften my heart this Christmas. 

Keep me

from rushing through the season, but missing the Way . . .

from decorating the tree, but missing the Light . . .

from wrapping the gifts, but missing the Gift.

    Lord

    Enlighten what’s dark in me,

    Strengthen what’s weak in me,

    Revive whatever peace and love

    Has died in me.

    Amen.

      Exiting Storm Lake after a storm

    We passed a rainy night in Storm Lake, appropriately.  A second storm passed overhead at 7:00 A.M., heading west to east really swiftly.  By 8:45 we could head out following the storm, but not in rain.  The day turned beautiful and we arrived dry in the beautiful over night town of Fort Dodge, the former home of Kent & Diane.

    Rosemary's Blessing:   

    May the sun bring you new energy by day

    May the moon softly restore you by night

    May the rain wash away your worries

    May the breeze blow new strength into your being

    May you walk gently through the world

    and know its beauty

    all the days of your life.

     Apache Blessing

    Ponte 1

    Heard of Locks of Love?  This seems to be where it began.  A lock is secured to the chain link fence, the key is thrown in the river, and your relationship will never be broken.

    Trouble was, the weight of the locks was breaking down the bridge, the Bridge of Art, Paris, over the Seine with the Louvre on the opposite side. 

    So, the locks had to come off and those red & white plywood panels were put up.  Locks are only on the edges, like in the picture.  The Locks of Love idea has spread everywhere in Europe.
