My friend, Gill, sent me this beautiful photo which I want to share with you.
This is what she said about it.
Shimmering in the late afternoon sun. The tarn is below High Cross, the pass over Hawkshead Hill towards Coniston. Rarely visited by comparison with nearby Tarn How’s. A delightful, wild tarn fringed with perfumed bog myrtle, with water lilies ringing the shallows. Nesting in the waving birch, willow and reeds. Badgers visit at night too…
Very peaceful in the light breeze and western sun – after the cold wet windy week. Hope!
God of new beginnings
we pray that you will transform
your world, our country,
our neighbours, ourselves,
as you renew us by your love.
Give us a vision of your creation,
wide, inviting, beckoning,
that we may travel hopefully
and with eager anticipation
that through faith and with your blessing
we may be empowered and inspired
to work together to build a better,
more just and fairer world;
where all may be sustained by the peace of Christ
and live in harmony with each other
and with the planet you have given to us
as our temporary dwelling place
on our journey to your Kingdom
Amen.
