__________________Psalm 90: 2,12 _
Before the mountains
were brought forth, or the land
or the earth were born,
from age to age, you are God.
So teach us to
number our days that we may
apply our hearts to wisdom.
*Florence Nightingale,
1820 – 1910
the founder of modern nursing, served during the Crimean War, was an Anglican whose "personal mystical [connection] sustained her through many years of poor health"
at the end of her life.
Give power, wisdom, & gentleness to those who follow her, that they, bearing with them your presence, may not only heal but bless, & shine as lanterns of to hope
in the darkest hours
of pain & fear -Collect

Do you see how gray & opaque the river is? It’s because it’ a glacial river & it picks up
a TON of sediment as it slides over the land. It’s astonishing how it looks like water from a cement mixer it is when I’d expect it to be pristine!
