What I really want

Posted on | August 5, 2008 | No Comments

I met with the wedding planner/officiant today. It really is unfortunate that weddings provide so much stress. If we were to do it again I would elope. People become so worked up about boutonniere's, centerpieces, dj's, flowers, flowers, & more flowers. And pictures... oh dear pictures. We have met with so many photographers, it's too bad I cannot photograph my own wedding. Oh I now crave simplicity.

I just want this minimalistic life living in the woods with hiking & lovemaking, cooking & river rafting. I want to experience pregnancy & play music to my child while she grows in the womb. I want to read books and relearn the guitar. I will have morning coffee shortly after the sunrise and the sounds I will hear will only consist of nature. I will teach my child to appreciate the music of quaking aspen, the splendor of wildlife at it's root, and the feel of a cool river fed from mountain springs. She will shiver & smile, & I will laugh. I want to laugh throughout my life.

I've strewn off the subject. But I only write what I feel, and I am not feeling this wedding. Or perhaps I should say I am not feeling wedding planning. Something so meaningful should not be so much stress.
