Bill Holm poem

‎"For it is life we want. We want the world. The whole beautiful world, alive -- and we alive in it. That is the actual God we long for and seek. Yet we have already found it, if we open our senses, our whole bodies, thus our souls. That is why I have written and intend to continue until someone among you takes up the happy work of keeping the chain letter of the soul moving along into whatever future will come." by Bill Holm, my Minnesota soul brother!

Bill Holm poetic narrative

‎"If you want to know what I'm really like, at bottom, what I think -- of you, God or the state of the world -- arrange to hide (very discreetly, so early in the morning) and listen. It's my own song of myself, and I will tell you more than Walt Whitman ever did." from 'I begin the day in my sixty fifth year' by Bill Holm, my Minnesota soul brother

25th Anniversary Sentiments - from Jon, Emily, & Gus

How to Celebrate a Beautiful Anniversary:

Recall the years you've spent together,
making a home, building a life.
Each year is a unique blend
of ups and downs, fresh starts,
and happy endings.
Replay the memories.
Retell the stories.

Reaffirm the friendship
at the heart of your romance.
To be loved for who you are is a rare gift.
Hold hands.
Laugh a lot.
No matter how busy life is,
make time for togetherness.

Reflect upon the lessons
time has taught you.
The importance of patience,
the art of compromise.
The healing power of forgiveness.
Marriage takes effort
and giving with your whole hearts.
Be proud of what you have together.

Renew your commitment,
knowing that a good marriage
is a lifetime of "I do's."
Savor the privilege of being companions
on life's journey.
Daydream about all
that's still to come.

In this great big world,
you found just the right person
to love,
just the right person
to love you.
And you get to spend the rest of your life
with that one special someone.
On your anniversary
and every day of your marriage,
Remember how lucky you are....and be happy.

Congratulations!

25 years!
What a great example for our marriage.
I/we hope you have another great year.

25th Anniversary Sentiments - from Ariana

Dearest Ma and Nate,

What started as a traumatic experience for me has evolved into a source of security and a model to look up to. You guys are the "rock" of the family and I feel blessed to have you as (one of) my parental unit(s).

Happy Anniversary! Thank you for celebrating with us in Williamsburg.

Lots of Love,

Ariana
