A Marriage Blessing

15 09 2009

dedicated to Ron and Erika

May you treasure the light each of you carry,
a shield against isolation and loneliness.

May you hold sacred the individuality
and independence of your loved one.

May you love and honour your differences,
celebrate and rejoice in your similarities
and invest time and effort in creating wholeness and solidarity.

May your circle of family and friends surround
you with strength, compassion, and friendship.

May you always uncover the root of difficulties
and may that root always be overcome
with the humility and forgiveness of true love.

May you discover each other again and again,
seeing with new eyes the beauty
you saw in each other in the first few days.

May your love grow, like roots,
deeper and wider with each new transition,
rooting you firmly in the earth, in each other.

May your marriage always be characterized by freedom, hope and trust.
