Wilmer “Wil” Bloy 1928-2026

Wilmer Bloy, 2015

I lift up my eyes to the mountains — where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip — he who watches over you will not slumber;

Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over you — the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm — he will watch over your life;

The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

   – Psalm 121, A song of ascents

Nature’s first green

Small green leaves sprout from the top of a branch, above a cluster of flower tendrils that are hanging down.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold,
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
   – Robert Frost

These are new leaves (and flowers) of a boxelder tree.
