"The marriage you create
will be uniquely your own. No where has the
story you will enact together been told before.
But, there is a logic that rules every love
story and you will be well provisioned for
your journey if you respect it. Begin with
the knowledge that you will at times, fail
each other and therefore you can only keep
your love alive by practicing the great art
of forgiveness. A thousand times you will
forget to listen, tread roughly on sacred
ground, reopen each other's wounds, say too
much or too little, close your heart to care
at the very moment compassion is needed. But
your love will remain lively and green if
you forgive each other a thousand and one
times
and begin again." Sam Keene
