I'll try to speak loudly over the bursts and
caress of the wind
that has us here today.
um...
wow
Raphie
You are the Goddess
that claimed my heart
so many years ago.
A bond unbroken
or bent through time
unbound by our space today.
Long has my heart
been awaiting its counterpart
sparked once -
a decade ago in this lifetime,
perhaps lifetimes ago in this Universe -
to such an extent
that I believe that it carved
a puzzle piece place
in my heart that you could
only ever fit.
My love for you is my love for God
that she would create such a creation as you,
that would fill me with such an
overflowing feeling of peace within,
of fulfillment, not only being loved,
but being understood
as well as accepted.
Raphaela,
I promise to cherish your every fermion,
your every quark, your every burst
of spontaneous energy
as well as your every moment of quiet reflection.
From every moment that you wake in the morning
you'll know the full extent
of my capacity to love you.
To perceive the subtle rhythm of your breath,
to intuit your deepest
unspoken needs and desires.
I will hold myself in remembering
when is the moment to lay down my work
and rest,
or to play, or struggle
or caress, or sit quietly with you
in the canopy of our bond.
When I am exhausted,
I will be renewed by my own self love,
so that I can renew and tenderly love you.
When I look at you Raphie,
I know it is God I am looking at.
And so when I care for you,
it will be as I would care for God herself,
And there is no amount of low,
no amount of downtrodden, nor depth of hurt
that could even dim God's luminance
that I could cease caring for Her
to my fullest, most dedicated,
most attentive, and most unrelenting extent.
And so Raphie, you have my word,
my promise, my vow and my honor
upon Ek Ong Kar Sat Nãm
my Truth of Being,
that I will honor, love and respect
you, with all of my everything,
until the end of my days as your husband
in this life and beyond. . . . . Sat Nãm.
Both of us wrote something of a poem
that we'd follow our vows with..
I've crossed the plains to come find you,
Within those eyes,
The heart I recognize,
To be my only True,
So take my hand and lead the way,
To a place our souls once knew.
That place of deep,
ever nourishing quietude.
I know I could be spending
a little too much time with you,
But time and too much, don't belong
Together like we do.
And if I had all my yesterdays,
I'd give those to you, too.
I belong to you now.
Nothing in this world could separate
me from you.
I take your hand and feel my heart
swell up like the moon.
Tears come down like falling rain, when
I realize I have you.
Every day of these lives,
I am always going to love you.
Raphaela McIntyre-Morton I do take you -
To be my Wife for the rest of my life,
and maybe a few more too.
Beneath these stars, despite my Mars,
Yolk my life to you,
And to the place of God,
I am always going to point you.
That's a tough one to follow..
oh man,
I will try my best to project..
Nicholas--
Not very many 15 year old's fantasies come true.
But..
Standing here with you today certainly fulfills that for me.
Ever since that moment when our cells... souls! connected
10 years ago..
loving you has been involuntary, and compulsive.
After getting back in touch with you a few months ago,
you have once again become the first thing I think about
when I wake up in the morning,
and the last thing that I think about as I drift to sleep,
and you obtrusively come into my mind
throughout all my days..
but always with a comforting feeling
of a simple truth
and knowing deep within.
This knowing is beyond words that I know.
And so, with some inspiration from another writer,
I will take some of their words and mold them for my purpose:
Nicholas: I did that, too!
Raphaela: Yeah, I noticed..
I recognized, It was beautiful.
I want you to know that even as I see and learn of your flaws,
all of these aspects to me
are so tender, and particular to you
and I promise that I will use them
to raise myself up and create a space
for you to join me.
I promise you that.
And that in the deepest and most unshakable part of myself
I find no reason, or logic or words
that can truly touch what we have.
You are my missing Kingdom,
the unbruised part of myself
that gives me the strength to acknowledge my fears, and to challenge them.
It will be my blessing
to live up to the honor and the challenge of being your Wife.
And, now I'd like to share a poem that I wrote
with what I feel and see when I look at you
and when I think about you.
It's titled "The Ocean"
...So appropriate for our location
My love for God is infinite
the depths go beyond all realms
In loving God, I love myself,
In loving you I find God.
In your eyes,
I see the Universe.
I get lost, not in loneliness, but in comfort.
To your lips I lose my breath,
I give you my air
...sometimes aggressively, sometimes over-enthusiastically,
But in sustaining you I find life
Beyond that of Nitrogen and Oxygen
Beyond Argon, Carbon Dioxide,
and the often unacknowledged water vapors...
...and in that order.
In your arms, I find warmth
A blanket of love I greedily cling to
throughout all my days and all my nights
And in your heart
I see beauty
That which even poetry falls short in description.
Some actions can speak louder than words
But your soul -
that you have so graciously shown me and shared with me -
In all of human existence,
Not even a compilation of all its greatness and wonders
could touch the depths of the ocean that is your soul
In loving you, I find God
In loving God, I love myself
The depths are beyond all realms
My love for God is Infinite
My love you for is Infinite.
