A Wedding Toast

May your love be firm,
and may your dream of life together
be a river between two shores -
by day bathed in sunlight,
and by night
illuminated from within.
May the heron
carry news of you to the heavens,
and the salmon bring
the sea's blue grace.
May your twin thoughts spiral upward
like leafy vines,
like fiddle strings in the wind,
and be as nobel as the Douglas fir.
May you never find yourself back to back
without love pulling you around
into each other's arms.

By James Bertolino

Bright Blessings, Caroline!!!

Indian Wedding Prayer

Now you will feel no rain
for each of you will be shelter for the other
Now you will feel no cold
for each of you will be warmth for the other
Now there is no lonliness
Now you are two persons
but there is only one life before you
Go now to your dwelling to enter into the
days of your life together and may your days
be good and long upon the earth

("Wedding Braids" by Stan Davis)
