Our Vows

Carol and I met on March 24, 2015.

We struck up a friendship based on her love of learning and my ability in the Feldenkrais Method ® and Anat Baniel Method, to take advantage of brain plasticity to assist people who want to move with more ease, grace and coordination. And eliminate back, neck and shoulder pain.

And then on June 20, anniversary coming up tomorrow, we spent an hour and a half lunch meeting than turned into twelve hour "non-date" where we listened and listened and listened to each other.

We shared Bible verses we loved.

We watch Brene Brown's TED talk on vulnerability twice.

We kissed a bit.

We realized we'd found our life partner.

Soon came a proposal: life partner is LIFE.

Then a marriage, that took a LOT of planning.

And had the goal of being transformative.

And was.


And part of that marriage was our vows, which we now say to each other almost daily as we lean against a wall and do "being present/ energy/ happiness" exercises.

We take turns saying the first eight. From memory.

Not necessarily in order, but we know when we've done eight.

Then, number nine, the super vow, we say together.

Almost every day.

And it's coming true.

And what is vow #9?

#9: WE ARE JOYFULLY CREATING A
LONG, &
HAPPY &
HEALTHY &
ENLIGHTENED

LOVE,
FRIENDSHIP, &
MARRIAGE

THAT IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER AND BETTER
EVERY DAY.

We say that after we've remembered and usually improvised a bit on these eight.

#1: We are supporting each other in the pursuit of the Divine Life Energy, which we experience as
Ease,
Humor &
Peacefulness

#2: We are cherishing our life together and treating each other as PRECIOUS GIFTS.

#3: We are delighting in the WONDER OF LIFE, and constantly sharing our GRATITUDE with each other and the world.

#4: We commit to slowly down when we get unhappy, to taking a deep breath and coming back to the present and to God, and asking ourselves: do I want to be right, or do I want to live in
EASE,
GRACE &
LOVE.

#5: We are PRESENT, VULNERABLE & PRESENT in our words and behavior.

#6. We connect to NATURE for daily nourishment. (Outside nature. In our bodies nature.)

#7: We know that LOVE is at the center of all life.

#8: We are fully committed to SUPPORTING each other reaching our HIGHEST POTENTIALITY and MAKING A DIFFERENCE in HEALING THE EARTH & HUMANITY.

#9. We are JOYFULLY
creating a
LONG, &
HAPPY, &
HEALTHY &
ENLIGHTENED

LOVE, FRIENDSHIP & MARRIAGE

that is getting
Better and
Better and
Better
EVERY DAY.

They are all about love, or presence or service or what to do when we fall astray.
They are great.
