Through my eyes

Through my eyes

"Infuse your life with love. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honour your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth." By Bradley Whitford

There are love stories that move us and then there are the love stories that touch our souls and grab our hearts with clenched fists and shake us around a bit.

It was my bestie's wedding last Saturday, we all descended on the South Coast to a cool wedding venue. All hundred and five of us came together from all over the globe to celebrate the union of Maryn and Hugh. Mrs and Mr Reimers.

We have been anticipating this wedding for months and when the day finally arrived we were all breathing a little faster and smiling a little wider, it all just felt so right. Everyone was hugging and kissing and getting ready for the magical hour.

And then as if in a dream, the bride appeared and no amount of makeup and bling on her Chantillylace could match the radiance that surrounded her when she walked down the palm lined isle.

There is something so magical about a woman who is in love and is loved back unconditionally. There is a supernatural cosmic glow that radiates around people who are loved and the best thing about that is that it spreads and touches all those around.

It was Lao Tzu that said, "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." There is something so meaningful in these words. There is nothing more beautiful than a strong, courageous woman walking her path in love with the man of her dreams.

This year I will be celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary. And as I reflect on the past quarter of a century with my husband, I have to admit that it was not all smooth sailing and happy endings, but it was all about love and respect and the work it took to stay grounded and keep a clear focus on our union.

Maryn and Hugh are now on a life path together. There will be potholes, there will be stops and goes and there will be diversions but as long as they stay on the path together, they will encounter magical landscapes, enchanted adventures, mystic guides and charmed long windy roads.

We all deserve to be loved unconditionally, it is our birthright. We sometimes forget how crucially important it is to have love inside our hearts, inside our homes and inside our work place.

Thank you Maryn and Hugh for reminding us about the raw exquisiteness love possesses and for sharing that feeling with all of us.
