Recently I (Jane) attended a wedding on Whidby, Island, WA.
As I listened to the young bride and groom speak their beautiful, inspirational vows to each other, I tried them on as I always do at weddings. How have their vows played out in my 16-year marriage? Have my husband and I kept our promises to each other? Rather than go through an analysis, I would much rather connect to the feelings evoked by looking at this image of this couple. The honeymoon to Italy and the thrilling and anxious decisions of early marriage have faded away. Feelings of peace, and contentment seem to permeate this image. How lovely it is to take a simple walk in the woods with a very familiar companion.
