Wedding Anniversary

We were married in the backyard on July 5, 2014

A popular song in our song circle includes the words, "All we need is right here." That's how it felt that day. That’s when the profile photo for this blog was taken. 

Another line in the same song goes, "Reach out your hand, no need to fear."

That reminds me of the letter that Leonard Cohen wrote to his muse Marianne, shortly before her, and then his, death last fall.

 "Well Marianne, it's come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine.

"And you know that I've always loved you for your beauty and for your wisdom, but I don't need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey.

"Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road."

There was no time to say these things to David. I wish I could believe that I will see him again down the road.  What a dear wonderful man he was. Endless love indeed.
