an affirmation

I mentioned in an earlier post that I am in the midst of preparations for a sacred vow renewal. As the event draws ever closer, I believe a few beloved lines and a simple image will serve my online journal and life best, so . . . 

“My lover speaks; he says to me, “Arise, my beloved, my beautiful one, and come. 

For see, the winter is past and the rains are over and gone.”- Songs 2:10
