Marriage Vows - Oct. 2, 1999

Marriage vows between Kevin and Rebecca - Oct. 2, 1999

I vow to protect you from all enemies of your passion.

When your eyes rush to the horizon, I vow to watch your footing.

I vow not to let our days stack up like dishes, compact and uniform, but rather like well-chewed artichoke leaves flung with gratitude in a gay heap.

I vow to know the magic of your mind, and to make mine known to you, unbidden.

I vow to be game when you are more adventuresome than I, and patient when you are less so. When you must, I will see you off to go alone. But together, I vow to forever go with you where we haven't gone before.

I vow to nurture your gentleness and protect your quirkiness and help you emerge forever as yourself.

I vow to be attentive to your knees.

I vow to swoop down on each lesser thought or feeling with the keen unflinching quick of the instinct that first brought me close to you.

I vow to endure all dangers with you, and to protect you.

I vow in my closeness to you, never to excuse, never to defend, any estrangement from life in the world around us.

With this ring I encircle you. I vow to be honest and faithful and to be naked before you, for the rest of my life.

the self-worth vortex

avoid it.  too often any predicament or interaction at all starts whirling down it, with increasing force in the descent.  the times when dad can focus on a problem without this entering into it, he's masterful, but 95% of the time he's in the vortex, a maelstrom.  i don't know what percentage of the time I'm in it, but it's mighty high i'll wager.

Bah Humbunk Ay-YAH!

is, according to Hart, what the King exclaims while killing the monster to save the princess.
