    Rosemary's Blessing:    

    May those who have died …

    be at peace and fulfillment

    And

    May we who are living …

    be filled always with gratefulness for each day,

    thankful for relationships, our health and spirit

    And

    May we leave this world a better place for our having been here.

    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.

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

     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.

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    … May God bless you with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can make a difference
    in this world, in your neighborhood,
    so that you will courageously try
    what you don't think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.
