the sky now pour,

that whenever I stand in a field,

I have to wring out the light

when I get

home.

Love is

the perfect stillness

and the greatest excitement, and most profound act,

and the word almost as complete

I recently created an exciting stream called SevaFriend Ministry, so named because of my passion for giving and for supporting stewardship towards animal and plant life on this planet. Please see more information on the page of the same name.

Because of the sometimes unique situation that the celebrants and their extended families find themselves in, I offer guidance during the ceremony construction process in the weeks or months prior to their special moment while writing and choreographing the ceremony according to their needs.

WHERE TO PLACE:

Consider the impact your ceremony will have not only upon you, but upon your guests. So many times during weddings our rewards come in the form of thought-provoking readings and ritual presentations ~ truly you can only imagine how your ceremony may influence a life or a relationship by the energy you create and the intention you carry.
