    Rosemary's Blessing:

     

    Life is not a journey to the grave

    With the intention of arriving safely

    In a pretty and well preserved body,

    But rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke,

    Thoroughly used up,

    Totally worn out,

    And loudly proclaiming

    —WOW—What a Ride!

     

    Hunter S. Thompson

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    A Summer Blessing

    May you walk with God
    This summer
    In whatever you do
    Wherever you go

    Walking with God means…
    Walking with honesty
    And with courage,
    Walking with love
    And respect
    And concern for the feelings of others

    May you talk to God
    This summer
    And every day and
    In every situation

    Talking with God means…
    Praying words of praise
    For the beauty of creation
    Saying prayers of thanks
    For friends and good times,
    Asking God's help
    In all your decisions
    Expressing sorrow
    When you have failed

    May you talk with God
    Every day. Amen.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    I just finished a marvelous book, The Last Green Valley by Mark Sullivan.  It is the story of a young couple and 2 young sons making their way from the Ukraine westward at the end of WWII.

    At the end of the mother’s life many years later when she was 80+ years old a friend asked the woman, Adeline to describe the most important things she learned over the course of her long and remarkable life.

    Adeline thought about that for a little while before saying, “Don’t chew on the bad things that happen to you, dear.  Try to see the beauty in every cruelty. It sets you free.  Forgive hurt if you want to heal a broken heart.  Try to be grateful for every setback or tragedy, because by living through them, you become stronger.  I see the hand of God in that.”

    Breathe of Summer

    Creator God
    who breathed this world into being,

    the perfection of a butterfly's wing,
    the grandeur of a mountain range,
    the soaring eagle and humming bird,
    thank you for this world
    which you have created.
    Thank you for summer sun,
    which reminds us
    that your creative breath
    is still alive and active.
    Thank you for the warmth of your love,
    sustaining this world,

    Your garden

    Rosemary's Blessing

    Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
    Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
    Now, think.
    What delight God gives to humankind
    with all these things. . . .
    All nature is at the disposal of humankind.
    We are to work with it.

    For without we cannot survive.

    Rosemary's Blessing

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place: and in the sky
    The larks still bravely singing fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the dead: Short days ago,
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved: and now we lie
    In Flanders fields!

    Taken from IN FLANDERS FIELDS
    By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

     

    Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915 
    during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium
