Love in the later stage of life is different - the bullshit is gone for one no longer has the patience nor the inclination - and because of that I think it tends to run deeper and truer. <BR/><BR/>This was a very nice piece and I enjoyed reading it.rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248554235709475320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400455429821166661.post-4016489634146808682008-10-02T22:21:00.000-04:002008-10-02T22:21:00.000-04:00Beautiful!!!

This is a beautiful expression to happen upon just now, a peaceful isle amid the crazy travel, family coming and going, and all the doings. Thank you for the reminder that it is so much more than the "doings" and trappings of the wedding industryKara Chipoletti Jones of GriefAndCreativity dot comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110578035201758404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400455429821166661.post-35211438752728812142008-10-01T11:22:00.000-04:002008-10-01T11:22:00.000-04:00What a beautiful expression of your love and commi...What a beautiful expression of your love and commitment to your partner.

This line in particular got me: "We're older now. I don't know about becoming wiser with age, but there is clarity and peace, an absence of doubt about who we are and where we are going."
