It is nine years today. Nine years since we inhaled salty wind, peering over boardwalk rails to glimpse the icy crest of waves. Nine years since a 21-year-old boy asked a 20-year-old girl to be his wife. Nine years since he took my hand, trembling from cold and excitement and nerves, holding it steady as he slipped a ring on my finger, anticipating our forever promise. Nine years since I whispered yes through giddy lips...
Still feeling much like a girl, navigating life and marriage and motherhood, I differ not from the winter waves, rising high and falling hard. But even now he clasps my hand and remains My Steady. "Many waters cannot quench love...my beloved is mine and I am his."

ReplyDeleteKristen, I'm liking your topic about brevity. I'm interested in doing that for our next ST Email & Online publication. I enjoyed the article you submitted, and I see from your blog that you are meditating on how life is just a vapor.
