this is beautiful dauntless :-) and I am the luckiest in the world to be becoming your wife tomorrow!!!!!
(for anyone reading...we are getting married tomorrow!!... 'the wedding ' is the 20th june, but the legal bit we brought foreward and are off 2 do it 2mo!! ...in 12 hours I'll be mrs dauntless :-)
moon fu-tzu say, dauntless is a very wise man. website music, flower and poem flow together into a single sweet message that says, in a single line: dauntless loves destiny without wax. lol!
Moon! Always good to hear from you! Yes! Definitely without wax! (Sin Cera)! I loved the etymology of it, it is one of those things that stuck with me and has a lot of meaning.
(Quote from Wiki) An often repeated folk etymology proposes that sincere is derived from the Latinsine = without, cera = wax. According to one popular explanation, dishonest sculptors in Rome or Greece
would cover flaws in their work with wax to deceive the viewer;
therefore, a sculpture "without wax" would mean honesty in its
perfection. (This is where my meaning of it derives)
Hege! Thank you so much! Des is like a mirror for me, she helps me to see who I really am, just one of those soft old romantics! lol. I know there will be years of happiness to come even in the rough times we'll get through together!
Thank you Twyla! But I have to say I feel like it's the other way around, Des is the keeper and I'm the lucky one for sure! :) I feel like a true man, or what a man is supposed to be for his lady and it's Des who brings it out in me.
Trav. Thank you for your blessings! They are warmly accepted and appreciated! :)
Thank you Scipio! I hope you have found love or I hope you will depending on your circumstances of course! ;)
Hahaha, yeah, I know what kind of wax you're talking about now moon ;) Although.......that gives me an idea! hahaha! .........
Thank you very much ginger :) Just something intimate Des and I share together :) I think it's very profound if put in that way.
Without wax for me means no bullshit, no front or act put on claiming yourself to be someone else. Just be yourself, let yourself shine through, that's who you are and that's who you're always going to be so don't lie about yourself, accept yourself for who you are and accept the fact that some people aren't going to like who you are but there will be those who do and that's what matters.
Hi Dauntless. You are so right about the concept of personal honesty that underlies sine cera.
We can cover our defects with wax anyway we want. It will still turn out futile in the end. The heat of truth will melt the facade away. "Without wax," like you said, is still the best way to give your love to someone else , and to let that someone love you back... :-)
Thank you for taking time off, in the midst of your busy schedule, to reply to my post. Been there - done that . Thanks for thinking about me. Now you deserve all the love you can get.
A huge thank you Moon! I'm only sorry you can't make the ceremony on 20th June but we all have our responsibilities and lives to lead! I'm sure we will get together at some point though!
Anytime scipio, everyone deserves an equal measure! :) I really am truly sorry that it has been and gone and I hope you find that spark again! Des really gives me all the love I deserve and more. I can never tell her just how much I appreciate her and how much I love her but I'll spend every day trying!
I just want everyone to know that my darling wife and I celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary yesterday, they have been the best year's of my life and I pray that our dear God will bless us with health and age to do another 34. together....read entire post18 comments
