Hello Beth, Hello Alex
As a result of our work with David Patten, and of this entire tour, and of our entire lives, here is how we greeted each other and friends to begin our wedding:
BETH:
Hello,
I am the one who seeks continuous renewal,
the one who will inherit the universe.
I am the one who rests between the beginnings,
the healer that brings peace in which I know myself.
I am the one with a willingness to act with confidence and beauty
so that I open myself with light to the stranger.
I am Beth.
ALEX:
Hello,
I am the silver flash of light that rests in the questioning.
The inquisitor, I am, the brave one on the hero’s journey
walking there on the road ahead
asking unicorns how far it is to the sun.
I am the center of the universe,
gazing at my navel through telescopes of steam,
always dying,
always being reborn.
I am Alexander.
