clamorous symphony of love

four years ago today, all of the mystery in the universe cried and stretched, moved from darkness into light, and conceded the bliss of the world beyond for our clamorous symphony of love. he, our little monkey, was baptized into a community of gracious souls — the bold village entrusted, along with us, to help him become his truest self. we, andy and i, were baptized into a re-orienting sort of love – unconditional, fearful, wonderful.

happy birthday, big boy! you are my wild, empathetic, curly, defiant, inquisitive, exuberent, heart.
