    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    “Rivers do not drink their own water;
    trees do not eat their own fruit;
    the sun does not shine on itself
    and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves.
    Living for others is a rule of nature.
    We are born to help each other.
    No matter how difficult it is.
    Life is good when you are happy
    but much better when others are happy because of you.
    Let us remember that pain is a sign that we are alive,
    problems are a sign that we are strong and
    prayer is a sign that we are not alone.
    If we can acknowledge these truths and
    condition our hearts and minds, our lives will be
    more meaningful, different and worthwhile.”

    Following an ancient Jewish marriage custom, Austin stomps on a wine glass wrapped in a napkin.    The custom certainly seems to refer back to the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem.  Then multiple interpretations come up.  I chose the idea that the couple celebrates how all of our ancestors have navigated the broken glass in their lives and says to the couple that they, too, because of being a couple, will navigate successfully the broken glass in their own lives.

    Which is Your Gift of Love to me each day.
