Tim 🤍 Rachael
On the shore of Wonga Beach near the home they are building together, Tim and Rachael said I do
Rachael shared with me that she felt theirs was a cosmic connection and Tim called it a spiritual one, what they both related was a feeling of interconnectedness with their relationship and the universe
Which is why I felt this reading by Luke K Freeman, inspired by and including a passage from Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, was a perfect fit for their ceremony
The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond what our minds can easily comprehend. Lost somewhere between its immensity and eternity lies our tiny planetary home
Our planet is so astonishing, packed full of mountains, deserts, seas, all the plants and animals, glorious wonders we can share
On the Earth walks mankind with all its faults to bear, yet ever so exquisite with so much love and moral depth
May we remain grateful every day on Earth we live for the brief but wondrous opportunity that all of life is
Although mankind is faulty, we continue to strive. The sum of all thinking, all our accomplishments, is love
From within one of the billions of species to walk upon this tiny spec in the universe we find two imperfect people who want to share their short lives, living it as one
May this marriage take two fractional lives and make those fractional lives a whole. May these partners build a better world for the next generation to come
May this union bring a new light to the sunshine, a new fragrance to the flowers, a new beauty to the earth, and a new mystery to life
