Whether you are saying Good-bye or saying Hello, our Sacred Vows are the touchstone of what is true.
Sacred vows include what you have said about yourself, to yourself, in the quiet moments.
Sacred Vows act as a baseline, a reset and illicit an inventory of where you have fallen short or have lost your way or where life’s arrows have inflicted too many wounds. Your sacred vows are your true North.
We declare our Sacred Vows publicly and ceremonially in Marriages-Funerals-Celebrations of life. We are witnesses to these formal declarations. We have an Officiant ask, “Is there anyone who objects to this union” and in more recent ceremonies the officiant will charge the guests as committed participants’ to the couples Vows.
Forms change, promises are broken, marriages dissolve, partnerships break-up, but your Sacred Vows are a constant. Sometimes we are not aware of the Sacred Vows until you look back and see that whatever the structure was that you left was violating your Vows. This understanding goes beyond relationship-it speaks to what you are here to do not what you desire to do- all suffering is a function or not recognizing your sacred vows and or violating them.
We long to be true to ourselves and that is a lifetime of structural and emotional pivots. As the options diminish and the path narrows, the Sacred Vows become clearer, and your life becomes richer.
