HOUSES

“Houses have their own ways of dying, falling as variously as the generations of men, some with a tragic roar, some quietly, … while from others … the spirit slips before the body perishes.”

(“Howards End”, E. M. Forster, 1910)

KITE

xxx

“Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.”

Anaïs Nin

THE TEMPEST

xxx

When winds are raging o'er the upper ocean

And billows wild contend with angry roar,

'Tis said, far down beneath the wild commotion

That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore.

Far, far beneath, the noise of tempests dieth

And silver waves chime ever peacefully,

And no rude storm, how fierce soe'er it flyeth

Disturbs the Sabbath of that deeper sea. 

-Harriet Beecher Stowe-

CALM

>>

But real action is in silent moments. The epochs of our life are not in the visible facts of our choice of a calling, our marriage, our acquisition of an office, and the like, but in a silent thought by the wayside as we walk;in a thought which revises our entire manner of life, and says, "Thus hast thou done, but it were better thus."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

FAERIES

>>

When the first baby laughed for the first time, his laugh broke into a million pieces, and they all went skipping about. That was the beginning of fairies.

~ J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan ~

FISHERS OF MEN

Happy sunday everyone!

EVER INCREASING CIRCLES

Joining hands, we become a circle, 

Complete, connected and timeless,

We are whole, but not exclusive,

We are one and we will live as one,

But with endless others encircled around us,

Our marriage is neither beginning or end,

But a natural progression of our union,

Which finds us bound but not restricted,

All that was separate yields and flows,

Softly, towards the shared path of our future,

PSALM

To You, O Lord, I Lift My Soul.

Psalm 25:1

I chose this beautiful Psalm for the wedding ceremony...

Your ways, O LORD, make known to me;

teach me your paths,

Guide me in your truth and teach me,

for you are God my savior,

and for you I wait all the day.

BETROTHED

“If I get married, I want to be very married.” 

- Audrey Hepburn

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, 

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. 

Love one another but make not a bond of love: 

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. 

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. 

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. 

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, 

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. 

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. 

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. 

And stand together, yet not too near together: 

For the pillars of the temple stand apart, 

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.” 

- Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

SONNET 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no; it is an ever-fixed mark, 
That looks on tempests, and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks 
Within his bending sickle's compass come; 
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, 
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
   If this be error and upon me proved,
   I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
