There is something powerful and endlessly beautiful about celebration. The type of celebration where you need to take off your shoes to dance, where your elbows are knocking against each other because you just can't contain yourself. We need to engage in that type of celebration, once in a while.
Here above, my daughter's teacher's wedding, May 2024.
My daughter's teachers and administrators are generally outgoing, caring, generous and empathetic. That is one of the reasons why I decided to spend my entire Saturday at one of her teacher's wedding. Amongst her friends, my daughter was also one of the ushers. Over a dozen students signed up to usher for their dear teacher.
I have attended many weddings, and served as well. It may have been because I have not been out for a wild party in a while, or at many events, the time for dancing or getting to know one another is so miniscule, that our elbows hardly knock each other.
At my daughter's teacher's wedding, there was knocking of elbows. Shoes were flung across the green. Wigs and weaves could not withstand the frenzy and the music created little mounds of earth, with its heavy beats.
I marvelled at the newly-weds. I watched the guests and their enthusiastic welcome. It was truly breathtaking. How much joy can one take at one go!
I want to be part of more celebrations like this, where we knock our elbows together and weaves fall off because they just can't withstand the frenzy.
Bless!
Beverley
