A Loving Unity Wedding Officiant! 207 590-6339 www.LovingUnity.com

You finally found each other, after searching hard for love.
In this uncertain world you've come to one you're certain of.
How can you know the someone who you'll cherish throughout life?
What indices identify a husband or a wife?

Sometimes there's a gravity: Sudden, fierce, obsessed;
As if you're falling towards some star, by its strong pull possessed.


Or sometimes there's a childhood sense of unselfconscious grace,
Sustained within the safety zone of unprovoked embrace.

Sometimes there's the terror of the searing pain of grief,
As if the loss of love were death; sheer scream without relief.

Or there's a sense of loveliness too precious to be lost:
A gift of all that makes life good, beyond constraint or cost.

Whatever signs you read, they all point in the same direction:
The self that lies beyond the self, in love and shared affection.

True love lies far beyond the will, yet you must choose to love.
Each day to put aside the self, and with the angels move.
