Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:
May the Lord grant you
A tolerance for those who don’t agree with you,
A refusal to judge others,
A willingness to forgive,
A calm and hopeful spirit in the midst of anxieties,
And a holy anger for injustice in the world.
From Seven Sacred Pauses by Macrina Wiedwrkehr

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.
Have a Great Week, J.S

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.
