It’s been great being on Love’s long priestly road with this shiny star, over these many years. We share and discover the road together. Thankful for her shiny star-ness today! And our shared sense of wonder!!!

When God gives you a poem, you just try to read it, and love it well, in thanks! Love’s a mystery novel. And love is no secret.

Amy is a poem and a deep gem. I’m blessed. He must like me, despite myself! We share wonder and an uncommon awe of life! That “wow” space, we often return to, is home!

Thankful for my love today, as I am every day, not just on holidays! Let’s shine on! It’s been an awe-filled journey thus far!

We’ve lived a lot of lives together already, as they say (started in Europe, and then like Johnny Cash, have been everywhere! This year, got to visit the middle east with my parents who have been married for a million years at least; some of these are in Galilee and Jerusalem from this past year–as she and i both light up there!)—in many cultures and nations (the textures just get richer, if you stay with the collage of marriage!); but as my uncle recommended—we learned to like, not just love one another! It’s been poetic, to say the least. Thankful again today!
