Welcome Baby!

I had the honor of working with Margot and Adam to create their wedding ceremony. Like most couples, at first they weren't sure what they envisioned for their ceremony. And again like most couples, after our initial meeting a picture began to emerge.  Soon Adam and Margot wrote me with their wish to include the five elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit.  

Each of the five rituals we wove into their ceremony held deep meaning and significance for them, but perhaps most important was the element of Earth, represented by their wedding rings.  Imprinted with fingerprint-like swirls, their rings symbolized the joining of their lives; the foundation upon which they would build a new life and a new family, together.

Last week Margot gave birth to their first child, a daughter.

Welcome to this world Althea Juniper.  
We're so glad you're here!

Blessing for Margot, Adam and Baby
This child is Air – the breath of life, the sun of each day’s beginning.  This child is the thread that weaves lovers, families, and friends together into your community.

This child is Spirit – pure spirit, made manifest.  A luminous gift of grace, this child is a reminder of all that is good, seen and unseen, in this sweet and wondrous world.

This child is Fire – fierce and bright, a powerful force of creation.  This child will challenge you to start anew, again and again and again, ever at the threshold of the unknown.  

This child is Water – the greatest teacher of strength in fluidity.  This child will quench your deepest thirst, for this being will fill your heart like no other.

This child is Earth – the North Star, a compass for your navigation.  This child is the manifestation of your love, the solid base upon which you’re building a family of your own.  

As parents, you walk the path of co-creator in the sacred dance of creation.  May you step joyfully into the dance, and may you feet carry you steadily on the journey!
