A moment of happiness,
you and I sitting on the verandah,
apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.
We feel the flowing water of life here,
you and I, with the garden's beauty
and the birds singing.
The stars will be watching us,
and we will show them
what it is to be a thin crescent moon.
You and I unselfed, will be together,
indifferent to idle speculation, you and I.
The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar
as we laugh together, you and I.
In one form upon this earth,
and in another form in a timeless sweet land. -Rumi

They all say marriage is hard, and they are right. Marriage is responsibility. Not just to your partner, but to yourself. Responsibly to be better. Do better. Love deeper. Thrive. Grow. And that’s hard. But having someone you want to be better for. Do better for. Love deeper for. Thrive for. Grow for...that’s powerful. I am not me, without you. Love takes on a new meaning everyday. With all that growth, a new lesson emerges. Being your wife makes me feel more myself than anything ever has. Happy 6 months of marriage my love. Here’s to forever. @markrbrewer
