Rosemary's Blessing of  The Week:

May the Lord grant you

       A tolerance for those who don’t agree with you,

       A willingness to forgive,

       A calm and hopeful spirit in the midst of anxieties,

       And a holy anger for injustice in the world.

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.

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.
