Apache Blessing (Author Unknown)
Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be the shelter for each other.
Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be the warmth for the other.
Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before. Go now to your dwelling
place to enter into the days of your life together. And may your days be good
and long upon the earth.Treat yourselves and each other with respect, and remind
yourselves often of what brought you together. Give the highest priority to
the tenderness, gentleness and kindness that your connection deserves. When
frustration, difficulty and fear assail your relationship - as they threaten
all relationships at one time or another - remember to focus on what is right
between you, not only the part which seems wrong. In this way, you can ride
out the storms when clouds hide the face of the sun in your lives - remembering
that even if you lose sight of it for a moment, the sun is still there. And
if each of you takes responsibility for the quality of your life together, it
will be marked by abundance and delight.
