In the beginning...

It was a marriage of spiderlillies and motorcycles...

In my mind's eye, I can see a picture...

An old motorcyle... mystery and beauty in its curves and design... a hint of adventure... of time passing... of life happening... of secrets kept and dreams dreamed... of hardship and struggle... and survival... of overcoming... and joy expanding... all these things and more...

An old motorcycle leaning on its kick-stand in a sea of dew-covered grass in the early morning... time-worn leather saddlebags hanging on either side... a helmet on the seat... spiderlillies dancing around the wheels and running off to play in the grass... spiderlillies catching the sun... splashing color on the landscape like blessings overflowing...

And there we are...

We came from different beginnings, you and me... north and south being the least of it... traveled far different roads to reach the spot where first we saw one another... through heaven's door... and the perfection of the joining... spiritual... emotional... physical... is a thing of beauty and constant amazement...

God planned this.
