Holy
Marriage – To Toni and Ron Let’s
not, in
the name of freedom, flee
from commitmentbut dare itfor it is the true quest of lifeits
highest challenge and accomplishment.Free
are those who having faced the nature of loveits
chasms, empty passageways,its triumphs and elationswithout
any illusion,embark
on the ocean,determined
to live the adventureat
all cost,refusing
neither the victoriesnor
the wreckages,ready
to lose everything they ownand
willing to gain in the endwhat’s
invaluable,the
kept promise,the
oath honored without deceitin
the meeting of two lives. The
tragedy would be not to attempt the impossible,to
always remain within our own limits.In
marriage we constantly show each other those limits,finding
one another in our most hidden places,bringing
out the secret and shadowy partsof
each other.Every
time we love we save our world from the absurd.It
is one of the relationships that truly puts us to workfor
it is the pursuit through anotherof
our own truth, our authentic voice. Love
has only one goal, itself:we
are invited to love and serve,so
that love and servicecan
be of this world.In
the intimacy of bodies and soulsshared
nights and shared dayswe
access the truth of the beloved,and
when we mix our breaths, our juiceswe
are delivered to each other. The
laws of being do exist that bind the loversto
one another;they
fulfill our most ancient dreamshared
life, share food and drinkand
which each sip, with each bite,a
certainty: I am loved.Let
us shout with this oldest of dream,let
us weep and laugh with it,tremble
with it,let
us dance and embrace itthis
ancient dream:to
be loved without any reason.to
be loved with no condition, no merit.To
be loved,just
like that.
