Tonight there were four separate people who asked me to perform their wedding when they get married. One guy asked me to do his funeral. The funny thing is that each was completely sincere.
I could say so much about right now. About the people that I’ve met and the conversations that I’ve had just tonight. I am living the dream and beside myself that it’s happening. I am so thankful that I get to be who I am in this place, to these people. Sometimes I get so caught up in what has gone away that I miss the fierce presence of now. But I will keep on quoting Frederick Buechner until his words work their way deep down into my self, into my marrow, into my soul:
“What’s lost is nothing to what’s found. And all the death that ever was, set next to life, would scarcely fill a cup.”
