In 2011, our family celebrated four weddings.
First, my sister got married on January 1. Then, my daughter got married, on
April 18. Next, my niece got married, on June 12. Finally, yesterday, on October
first, my sister-in-law got married. Talk about a year filled with love! Life
doesn't get any better than this.
For their wedding on October 1, 2011, Maura and Dave wrote the following
poem. As you read the poem, think
about this question: Where do I choose to live?
Where We Live
by Maura & Dave Rawn
OUR LOVE OF NATURE
Have you ever watched a red tail hawk fade into the sunset
on a brisk winter's
eve?
Have you ever seen the blue of the sky reflect in the eyes of the one you're
with,
as you walk through the woods?
Have you ever watched a hummingbird feed on the scarlet fuchsia
as the sun
breaks dawn?
Have you ever sensed a deer watching you
well before you have seen where it is?
Have you felt the brush of a bat as it feeds at dusk on the edge of the pond?
Have you cross-country skied across the snow covered landscape
marveling at the
resilience and abundance of life?
Do you rush to the window each new day to watch the birds feed
and see the dew
sparkle in your piece of paradise?
Have you planted a tree and watched it grow, transforming your view,
and your
perspective, and your priorities with each New Year?
These are the spaces
Where We Live
OUR LOVE OF FAMILY & FRIENDS
If you've experienced children and grandchildren climbing trees
and growing like
weeds
If you've journeyed and adventured with family and friends
around the block and
around the world
If your siblings are not just your siblings but your best friends
If you've shared your darkest moments as well as your days in the sun
with those
that you love
If you've watched your kids struggle and then share their elation
when they
flourish and grow
If you've found fun and adventure with like-minded friends
If you've seen your family instantly expand through new marriages
and
relationships, and rejoiced in, and embraced them all
Then you know it is within the love of family and friends
Where We Live
OUR LOVE OF SPIRIT
Have you considered that life is an amazing adventure?
Are you grateful each new day for the gift of life
and the abundance of its
generosity?
Have you thought of the possibility that God always conspires on your behalf?
Have you pondered the idea that you are the Creator of your life, a co-creator
with your God, Spirit, the Universe, through the choices of your thoughts,
intentions, relationships and actions?
Have you felt the desire to become fully aware, wholly awake
and completely
conscious?
Have you taken a deep breath, stilled your mind and just listened?
If you slow for a moment, and live in the moment, then you know
Where We Live
THE LOVE OF OUR RELATIONSHIP
In so short of time we've found the same path through the woods, together
In so short of time we've planted our trees and our gardens, together
In so short of time we've found fun, laughter, curiosity and creativity,
together
In so short of time we've expanded our families and those that we love, together
In so short of time we've built our house and made our home, together
In so short of time we've deepened our understanding and relationship with
Spirit, together
In so short of time we've come to feel like we've loved each other forever
In so short of time we've become one
Together, forever, is
Where We Live
