you and i
have so much love
that it
burns like a fire,
in which we bake a lump of clay
molded into a figure of you
and a figure of me
then we take both of them
and break them into pieces,
and mix the pieces with water,
and mold again a figure of you
and a figure of me.
excerpt from yuan tao-sheng's married love
Michelle and Joe joyfully expectant of their firstborn son.
smelly dirty dried crumbs of earth stick to the bottom of our family shoes. walking in the watery mud outdoors, now transform inside, dried and hardened, swept up once crumbled off. the shoes of our landscapes. smelly sweaty socks fit perfectly on napping feet. boogers and bean soup. the intimate moments ending in tear stains. they are remnants of our journey through love. cheerful holiday seasons embrace the remnants of the outdoors and the unknown.
A few Favorites from a favorite day. These two are simple humans but also quite other worldly.
Ryan and Amy were like cool stones being washed by the spring rains. There was no rain, but it felt like cool, calm water was rushing down and surrounding us all through the day. Their love is so refreshing. Their families so warm and kind together.
There is but one temple in the universe and that is the body of man. ~ Novalis

Elizabeth so kindly allowed emma and I to capture her beautiful body and glowing spirit.
If God be our God, He will give us peace in trouble. When there is a storm without, He will make peace within. The world can create trouble in peace, but God can create peace in trouble.

Erin went to Uganda shortly after this, and I miss her. In the above photo, she is whistling with a sliver of grass to the silly fellas. Pittsburg PA is a pretty city.
