tomorrow I have the honor of standing with phil in the marriage of our friends mark and amy. coming home from 64 king tonight i was overwhelmed with the richness of love in the context of community... of my beautiful friends... of the sacredness of marriage. For mark and amy, I thought of these words by Rilke:
God speaks to each of us as he makes us,
then walks with us silently out of the night.
These are the words we dimly hear:
You, sent out beyond your recall,
go to the limits of your longing.
Embody me.
Flare up like flame
and make big shadows I can move in.
Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
Just keep going. No feeling is final.
Don't let yourself lose me.
Nearby is the country they call life.
You will know it by its seriousness.
Give me your hand.
