The Wedding Gift
On a busy day when the world is full of chaos, you find yourself needing space and serenity, even if it's just for a few precious moments. Imagine a private outdoor alcove, with hints of sunshine, a light wind gently touching the surrounding greens, a trace of fragrance, and a beautiful wooden swing. You sit and it calms you instantly with its subtle response to your movement. I reflect on the fact that my swing was a wedding gift, inspired by a trip to Europe and commissioned by my husband. I had forgotten about it as it sat unused in the attic for many years. We finally moved to a larger home where it was recently rediscovered. It now hangs majestically in this quiet space where it's purpose is now clear. It's not just a physical creation but a full body experience meant to be enjoyed again and again as time dances by.
