it certainly has been a long time. i feel sheepish. all i can say for myself is that all of my time over the last couple of months has been devoted solely to second storie and making sure it was as awesome as it could be.
and it was.
i have more to say on this, but it will have to wait until later. for now, it is enough that i am posting something new! thanks to all who left such sweet comments on my last post. i still get a little giddy when i think about our wedding.
pictures and more coming soon...

the title of this blog comes from a passage out of walt whitman's leaves of grass. few things in life have moved me such as this. it is a beautiful manifesto for a young man and his ailing country. his hope and belief was that everyone in this nation would read his words and be healed. i love this idea very much.
read on friends, and be healed:
This is what you shall do: love the earth and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and the crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning god, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.....
