Tonight we were privileged to witness a commitment ceremony between two friends. We were all blessed by this amazing evening.
They asked that I share a few thoughts.
Larry
and John November

Enveloping, enriching,
engaging, enlivening,
The two of you and the rest
of us.
We are watching you,
Not to spot slights or
missteps but rather to be
Present so that we might
share and benefit from
Your
journey of discovery and increasing freedom.
You
have chosen to begin your shared life
In
and amongst us.
How
fortunate are we!
We
surround you; we lay hands on you,
We
embrace you.
The
two of you, Larry and John, introduce us
To
a wider world, a deeper vision of all that
Love
and commitment can mean.
You
demonstrate, on our behalf,
What
community and family can mean.
And,
our gathering around you demonstrates our
Love
and commitment to you,
Individually
and as a committed couple.
You
do not stand alone.
Robyn, what a beautiful expression of love and support - how lucky Larry and John are to have you in their lives!
