It is the waking that so many of us yearn for, isn’t it.
To be alive. To learn. To contribute. To cherish. To unfold. To go well.
To receive. To give. To create. To surrender.
To love. To love again. To love the flow of it all.
Tomorrow Dana and I leave for Kauai. To wake further to this week. To wake further to the longings in our hearts, in our celebration of love and married union, chosen in this 60-something time of life.
Joy. Wow. Jeepers!
I quite like John O’Donohue’s blessings. I quite like his guidance to waking, which speaks to what I feel on this threshold of this union, in this continued marvel of coupling found.
On Waking
John O’Donohue
I give thanks for arriving
Safely in a new dawn,
For the gift of eyes
To see the world,
The gift of mind
To feel at home
In my life.
The waves of possibility
Breaking on the shore of the dawn,
The harvest of the past
That awaits my hunger,
And all the furtherings
This new day will bring.
“New dawn. At home. Waves of possibility. All the furtherings.”
It is the waking that so many of us yearn for, isn’t it.
Grateful.
Blessings to you both, and how magic to be “officiated” by Roq and Erica. It is a balm to my battered up heart/mind these days to think of you all in this beginning.
Thx Christina. Received! Thx for naming and seeing balm. In the all of it.
My own blessing for your journey. That the sound of the surf always be the soundtrack of calm and balance and rhythm. That the sunrise remind you of waking every day. That the moment you look into one another’s yes be the ground of relationship and life always to return to. The simple reminders of sea, and sun, and the longing for two to become one that fills the space between.
Much love to you both.
Received Chris — thank you Brother for the blessing, the wishes, the pattern of living.
Wishing you all the love and care and contributions your hearts can give one another. New beginnings on any and every day, oh the possibilities. Mwah xx
Indeed. Thank you Moze. What journey. Any and everyday. Thx for your seeing, as always.
