The Embrace  (a toast)

In the clasping of the body, arms which embrace, in the coming together is a unity that nothing can impair.  That it is truly locked in time. Somehow the eternal has been grasped and time is not of the essence.

That there is a space for this oneness of divine souls, that this embrace is of sublime importance. That in the annals of created history this will be recalled.  It will be a fixed event we can visit and be reaffirmed. It will have happened, have been, be and is.

For this event we raise our glasses and bless this union.
