“Love knows not of time”…

Yes, it is very ok to fawn over your own anniversary with us. You have certainly earned the right to be literally literary about love when you share so much of your other thoughts on life in a world of a poet. But for the partners with decades of similar togetherness behind us, they understand that timeless nature of the of our seminal connection with our partner in life. It only roots stronger and grows more entwined as we age, together. So, at what point do most couples truly become life-long doublets of personified prose and unspeakable passions? It is clearly different for everyone, but certainly possible for all, at some point. You, my friend, seem to be an early riser. (:p) You know the emotional connection is as comfortable as the physical. Everyone is welcome to it, regardless of who, how, or where they love. Happy Anniversary to you and the Lady Gregson!

We knew so little when

Of life and lending love

Hearts know less of time

And more of paths shared well

PS: the haiku is stunning!

Happy fifth wedding anniversary, Tyler and Sarah. My husband and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary on the 21st of September. <3 Hurray for the half decade that feels like nothing and forever at the same time.

Google tells me that the traditional gift for five years is wood.

Given how enduring you & Lady G seem to me? This makes every bit of sense.

All the love to you both 💜
