November 4, 2018, Prescott-
Friday night, I headed down to Phoenix, and spent time with several old friends, at the Baha’i Center. The occasion was a Launch Party Tour finale for the latest album by a talented young artist, named Colby Jeffers, a rapper with a strong spiritual message.
One of the themes he raised was the importance, the abiding bond, with his wife, M. They have been present for one another, for several years now, and the love is only getting deeper.
I saw several examples of the light of abiding love, that night, and over the weekend. Another young couple showed both the firmness of their bond, by holding one another, at moments when Colby’s words hit just the right tone of everlasting love, then having the strength to go about their individual tasks of the evening, knowing that each would be there for the other, when needed.
Penny and I were like that, so my heart is always warmed by a man who takes good care of his beautiful wife-and vice versa. I feel much the same towards couples who are not quite married, but who are committed to one another. Having so many friends who are at one point on the commitment continuum, or another, their ties generate light in the world, and I feel reassured.
This was further cemented today, when I attended an honorarium, at a lovely equestrian ranch northwest of here, and saw a couple being honoured, for their service to the Prescott community. They have suffered unimaginable losses, these past two years, and while I am not her favourite person, by any stretch, I feel very much appreciative of both all they have done and for the depth of their suffering. Their light shines, intensely, through all the shadows.
Marriage is an affirmation of light, when it is real.
