This is beautiful and I now have a longing for this experience. And that poem was the reading I chose for my wedding. Just seeing this title brought a smile to my face and happiness to my soul.

It really is a wonderful experience Kalee-one that both fills and lightens your heart. I *just discovered Oriah's poem and honestly can't stop reading it. How lovely that this was read at your wedding! 💕

It was an experience that will has left an indelible mark on my heart. Traveling with my sister even made it more remarkable and deeply touching. Not only do we share lifelong experiences that no one else will know about or understand, we now have this experience that has drawn us closer. We are forging a new path without our dear older sister, Lucia. As difficult as this is, we know that she is always with us.

AND we learned things about one another that we didn't know! What a gift to be able to stay open to learning, growing stretching, letting go...I'm so grateful to be able to have done this together. I know that Lucia was there with us in spirit and in our hearts 💕

And your comment really made me smile, Shell 💕. It was a very special experience (and the pizza turned out great too :-).

And that poem! I just happened across it while writing this post. The author is Canadian and there's a very interesting story to her name (which sounds like it might have an Indigenous origin, but doesn't). You can read more about her here: http://www.oriahmountaindreamer.com/
