I woke up with a ring on my finger
rolling over - a sigh of "wow" and a smile
Thailand's bells and chimes sing in my mind . . .
beaches of sugar sand and water the color of air.
Golden buddah's . . . monkeys that eat out of your hand . . .
I learned last week elephants are gentle and have funny looking feet.
I'm getting married to that man there,
he's kissing my smiles.. . . making me double over in laughter . . .
swimming through fountains and rust orange canopies . . . mint water and thai food . . .
yes, that one there - the one with shiny eyes.
He says he loves me . . . Loves me very very much.
I hold his hand and smile back. I'm wearing his ring - and I take a lot of big sighs because I'm not sure when I've ever felt this much for someone.
They say it gets even better.
They say there will be hard times, and good times, lonely times, and fun times.
I say I want to spend it all with him . . .
we ride the elephant through the jungle.
They say stuff like this takes faith.
and I think of moving to salt lake where I didn't want to be. I think of taking audtions that were scary. I think of moving to Aspen, where I didn't know anyone. I think of leaving my horse, and my dog, and my friends and moving to New York City. Liz says "its amazing to look back and realize that every major decision you've ever made has lead you to this one person." And I sigh again. Because I am so blessed to have been brought to him. And so blessed to go to a school I love, studying the music I love . . .
So I'm getting married.
Namaste.
