Lives in Motion

A month since the last entry, and "motion" doesn't even begin to describe the movement and changes that have occurred since that time... looking back over the past month I see...

... Paul and I, hand in hand, laughing and walking into the county courthouse to obtain a marriage license...
... the Reverend Jesse, in our living-room, reciting vows for us to repeat, and the eventual exchange of rings and kisses that formally end our courtship and mark the beginning of our marriage...
... whispered promises in the dark, and a feeling of peace and contentment such as I have never known before...
... I've loved him for so long, and yet that love blooms, now, in ways that I cannot articulate...

... and the next phase of our lives begins.
