Welcome to the first day of Spring, 2013, which is also the first "official" day of the 2013 - 2104 wedding season. I hope that if you are marrying soon, you have the wedding of your dreams, with few mix ups and muck ups, and a long and happy married life with the one you love.
From "THE
Irrational Season", by Madeleine L'Engle
"But
ultimately there comes a moment when a decision must be made.
Ultimately two
people who love each other must ask themselves how much they hope for as their
love grows and deepens, and how much risk they are willing to take.
It is
indeed a fearful gamble.
Because it is the nature of love to create, a marriage
itself is something which has to be created, so that, together we become a new
creature.
To marry
is the biggest risk in human relations that a person can take.
If we commit ourselves
to one person for life this is not, as many people think, a rejection of
freedom; rather it demands the courage to move into all the risks of freedom,
and the risk of love which is permanent; into that love which is not
possession, but participation.
It takes a lifetime to learn another person.
When love is not possession, but participation, then it is part of that
co-creation which is our human calling, and which implies such risk that it is
often rejected".
