Wedding Poem
Photo by Ming
My beautiful friend Dana got married to the excellent Saxon and she asked me to say something during the ceremony. What could be a greater honor? And what can one possible say to mark something as momentously insanse and fabulous as getting married? Here is the poem I wrote:
For you, under an open sky without beginning or end, I rouse a mind of sadness and delight, inseparable from each other.
Taking refuge in the grace and gentleness of the father lineage, I hold your gaze fearlessly, knowing that in the moment love comes into focus, it also disappears. Still I hold your gaze. I do.
Emulating the openness and bounty of the mother lineage, I give myself completely, without really knowing how. You are playing you and I am playing me. Let’s go.
I offer you only a joyful mind, as infinite as the sky. Yes, I do. Like the sky, it can contain sunshine and storms, snowflakes and hail. Conditions are continually shifting but the sky is always the sky. It never gives up. From within it—Rejoice! The great sun rises in the east, the moon meets the tide and the circle is always complete.
Ki Ki! So So!
