This is one of my favorite lyrics of all time, from Mumford & Sons’ song, Awake My Soul. I love the premise behind it and it has become something I will apply to my life forever. Why not have an everlasting reminder? It was done by Scott at Stiehl’s Body Modification in Ithaca, NY.

You’re not like the others. I’ve seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon, last night. The others would never do that. The others would walk off and leave me talking. Or threaten me. No one has time anymore for anyone else. You’re one of the few who put up with me.

People come and go— they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in your favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past.

Skype props up tenuous long distance relationships, allows chats with family and pals in other countries, and supports the occasional fun video chat. But on this one day, it let a mother watch her daughter’s wedding dance before she died.
Photographer Andrea Boettcher had a difficult job. The mother of the bride was terminally ill with cancer. The wife-to-be, Ashley Broering was originally planning to elope, unable to cope with the strains of her mother’s imminent death and plan a wedding. But when doctors told Ashley her mother had only days to live, she went other direction—she wanted everyone in her life in one place for her wedding day.
But what about her bedridden mom?
Andrea recounts a beautiful, and beautifully 21st century solution:
On the wedding day I showed up and saw the laptop in the ceremony venue, I was told [Ashley’s mother] was definitely not going to make it to the wedding but they were working on getting Skype set up for the ceremony. They did get it set up by the time Ashley walked down the aisle and and she witnessed the entire ceremony. It was beautiful and emotional and Ashley and [husband] Beau stopped and said a few words to her during the whole thing. After the ceremony they set the laptop up in the reception hall and people stopped by to chat and talk with her, she got to witness everything and it was amazing and sad all at the same time. A few weeks after the wedding Patty passed away but I know Ashley is so glad that because of technology she was able to share the day with her mother.

What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]After the Storm-Mumford & Sons
And there will come a time, you’ll see, with no more tears/ And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears./ Get over your hill and see what you find there/ With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

A mature person is one who is does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all-knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity.
