Reading - No Love, to Love of Man and Wife
Posted on November 28, 2006 | Filed Under Readings
Richard Eedes
No love, to love of man and wife;
No hope, to hope of constant heart;
No joy, to joy in wedded life;
No faith, to faith in either part;
Flesh is of flesh, and bone of bone
When deeds and words and thoughts are one.
Thy friend an other friend may be.
But other self is not the same:
Thy spouse the self-same is with thee,
In body, mind, in goods and name:
No thine, no mine, may other call.
Now all is one, and one is all.

Reading - Unknown title (When two people join)
Posted on November 28, 2006 | Filed Under Readings
Regina Hill
When two people join together and bond their lives forever because they are certain they have something special that will make their commitment last… this is the first act of faith.
Upon this act of faith these two people will build a life and as long as their determination stays with them this life will always be their hope, their dreams, their truth, their being, their inspiration, and their source of strength.
Through their life together, they will hurt and laugh.
Together they will feel all of life’s up and downs.
They will learn and grow through trial and error.
The lessons will show them the meaning of true love
And the difference between a love that lasts
And one that just gives up.
These two people will face each failure together and discover the strength to go on. They will encourage each other’s dreams and forgive each other’s faults.
Through a labour of love these two will become as one, fighting against the odds and ultimately creating a commitment that will grow into an infinite love.

Reading - Love’s Philosophy
Posted on November 28, 2006 | Filed Under Readings
Shelley
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the Ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
in one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?– Read more

Reading - The First Kiss of Love
Posted on November 28, 2006 | Filed Under Readings
Byron
Away with your fictions of flimsy romance,
Those tissues of falsehood which Folly has wove;
Give me the mild beam of the soul-breathing glance,
Or the rapture which dwells on the first kiss of love.
Ye rhymers, whose bosoms with fantasy glow,
Whose pastoral passions are made for the grove;
From what blest inspiration your sonnets would flow,
Could you ever have tasted the first kiss of love. Read more
