i can't believe it has been one year already . . .
jon and tabitha share a kiss
august 21, 2004
sunday will be mine and jon's one year anniversary! it has really flown by! at times i feel like it was just yesterday that we were sitting in the shakespeare garden of golden gate park and he was nervously offering me an engagement ring. but then, at other times, it feels as if we have always been together and always will be and that is just how the world was meant to be.
i love being married to this man. i love my new last name. i love watching him sleep and i love it when he kisses me. i know that no matter how screwed up things get, he will be a strong arm for me. he will be the one person in life who will care about what is happening to me from day to day. it is nice to know that there is someone out there as interested in myself as i am (that sounded shallow, but it is still true) . . . but even more than all that he does for me, i love him for who he simply is. he is a strong man with a solid character, high ideals, inspiring goals, an active mind and astounding intelligence. he has a good heart, a beautiful soul, and he puts up with me even at my worst. he takes out the trash, vaccuums, does the dishes (even though he hates it) and makes me dinner when he is home from work before i am.
i could go on and on blubbering about how in love with him i am and how lucky i am to have him in my life . . .
i wont though.
i'll just close with this poem by my favorite poet Rumi:
In The Arc Of Your Mallet
Don't go anywhere without me.
Let nothing happen in the sky apart from me,
or on the ground,
in this world or that world,
without my being in its happening.
Vision, see nothing I don't see.
Language, say nothing.
The way the night knows itself with the moon,
be that with me.
Be the rose nearest to the thorn that I am.
I want to feel myself in you when you taste food,
in the arc of your mallet when you work,
when you visit friends,
when you go up on the roof by yourself at night.
There's nothing worse than to walk out along the street without you.
I don't know where I'm going.
You're the road, and the knower of roads,
more than maps,
more than love.
