Jonathan & Emily
5/19/2007
Each born into this world possessing gifts most rare;
Challenging parental efforts to shape and control;
Demanding freedom to follow their individual paths.
To fall in line and follow the familiar is not their bent.
Guided by each other’s internal navigator leads them to ventures,
Requiring they trust a hard-to-define source for direction.
In the face of pretense and superficiality,
They find strength in being vulnerable and transparent,
Endearing themselves to all who dare reciprocate.
Deeply connected to nature and the wonders therein,
Affords them space to renew their rich spiritual bases,
And ground them in what is real, changing and eternal.
So, via this sacred rite of marriage Jonathan and Emily launch another adventure,
Knowing their expanded community of family and friends are available for support,
While holding both physical strength and immeasurable quantities of high-octane love.
I love you deeply and enduringly, Dad/Nate
