United

I spent a solid hour and a half w a couple that had scheduled an appointment w me. (One of which i have known her for years). She initially reached out to me and said I have fallen in love. And he would like to have a piece created about our union can we come to see you. She knew how I can make my best work. And that’s w feeling . They both came in, and proceeded to share their story. Both had previous marriages. Children. Successful Business And parallel lives for decades- Never knowing each other— when they even had children the same age both at Colby college at the same time!!!!.

When they found each other it was like the puzzle of what was missing in their lives -all the pieces had come together. I asked both of them to come up with a few words that outlines what their union feels like.

He said - “finally” & “love”

She said - “partnership” & “balance”

They shared with me how much they craved in the lives they have lived the feelings that they are finally feeling with each other and then knowing is so deep and wide it’s certainty w no interception. .. which to me sounds like pure surrender. HOW beautiful!!.

They continue to tell me how much they both love the ocean. And That would be nice to be incorporated. Everything about what they were telling me was simple and pure. About these two parallel lives that have finally come together shared with a story thats deep and dynamic... but what I saw is a simple design, pure, powerful, and centered.. w this unifying element in the center of their coming together . The timelessness of love in a forever changing sea... as love is still and boundless in the union...

Here is to Deb and Tom!
