“Now you will feel no rain,
For each of you will be shelter for each other.
Now you will feel no cold,
For each of you will be warmth for the other.
Now there will be no loneliness,
For each of you will be companion to the other.
Now you are two bodies,
But there is only one life before.
May beauty surround you on the journey ahead
And through all the years.
May happiness be your companion always.
Go now to your dwelling place
To enter into the days of your life together.
And may your days be good and long
Upon the earth.'' - Apache Wedding Blessing”

“Out of the heart
Of the West I rode,
Daring you only
To kiss your fears.
I, of the churning blood
And low blue fire,
Shedding collars and ties,
Burning all papier-mâché hearts,
And bringing a soul into your eyes.''

Thanks, Carol! Sorry you didn't win, as well. I hope you do get a copy, however. Amazon seems to be the most trouble-free venue right now, with supply chain issues affecting some of the other retailers. If you get the book, I hope you'll let us know how you enjoy it! Take good care - and happy reading - Rich
