What is a vow? More than a promise? Solemn? Serious?
In our culture, people break their vows everyday....wedding vows especially. How do I make those vows mean something?
I will always laugh with you. You make my heart light.
Do we create the solemnity of vows for ourselves everyday? To mean something does a vow need time behind it? Can a vow begin this moment? Can I wake up each day thinking only of the next 24 hours and know that my vows are there?
I will cry with you, for what touches your heart touches mine.
Maybe like time, vows are meaningful in the moment. Since we only have this minute, this present to know, that is where the meaning lies. If I think of them in terms of years, it's overwhelming....but for this moment, can I.....?
I will be honest. I will trust you. I will support you because the best of you recognizes the best of me.
How do I know?
I am a better person with you in my life. I will love you through it all.
