There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
- Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (KJV)

finding peace and strength
I've lost a lot in my fairly short life, had things slip away because of chance or foolishness in myself or foolishness in others. However, I've held more in my hands than most people ever do. I have things that nothing in all of creation can take from me.
I shouldn't be sad for long. My life is rich and blessed and always will be.

I have the love of my caring and understanding mother and fa

Pretty Poem by a dead lady
I put this in a little book I bound for my dear and loving spouse-to-be last St. Valentine's.
I think it's quite appropriate for him. In just a week we'll have been married 6 months. Makes me feel old. :) All this being expected to be a grown up at once was a bit challenging, but I have never before found meeting challenges so rewarding, and I couldn't possibly have a kinder, more paitient helper.

Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mi

The older I get, the more I like Ecclesiastes. He can sound pretty cynical in the face of wide-eyed idealism, but I think it's more an open-eyed idealism that takes full account of life as it is. Stuff matters because it matters to God.
I am happy for the two of you that you matter to each other. Keep being kind to each other. Prettiness fades; beauty deepens.
