The Next Step

As a movie progresses in the unveiling of one scene after another, so do we progress in life by stepping from one stone to the next.

College Dude and Language Lass took such a step this weekend. The energy they generated in moving to the next phase in their life was such that it drew nearly a hundred people along with them.

The newly opened door led to a grotto shaded by a tree that has witnessed the passing of some ten generations and sweetened by tumbling water that has nurtured those same generations and more. There, in that place of ages, College Dude and Language Lass became man and wife.

A score of people witnessed the exchange of personalized vows that will be heard over and over again in the splashing of the waterfall and the rustling of leaves. For the emotion filling that grotto this past Saturday evening was such that it will remain a part of the land forever.
