On March 5th I hosted a Wedding Celebration Party for Mario and Lauren at the beautiful townhome of Phil and Jane Berney. There were about 65 joyous celebrants! Some of Mario's dear friends from LaGuardia along with some of my students presented a beautiful concert for the newlyweds. The great Tex Arnold played piano. My brother Mark, sister-in-law Mary Jo and nephew Jake came from North Carolina. What a great time we all had!

On December 22, 2008, my son,Mario and Lauren Adams became husband and wife. I am so happy that they have found each other. Lauren is an amazing "daughter" and I am sooo lucky. I love you both and wish you the greatest journey ever! momma

We can use everything that happens to us as the means for waking up. We can use everything that occurs -whether it's our conflicting emotions and thoughts or our seemingly outer situation - to show us where we are asleep and how we can wake up completely, utterly, without reservation.

I am so happy to announce that Mario proposed to his love Lauren and she accepted.
Mario and Lauren are a beautiful couple. Lauren has been such a wonderful force in Mario's life and I am so grateful that they met and fell in love. They will do wonderful things together. They will set fire to the world.
Welcome Lobster-In-Law!
I love you both very much!

I watched this couple on the beach
two folding chairs so close
to the ground - not a space
between them
sweetly positioned toward the setting sun
deep in thought, deep in prayer,
so in love even the seagulls took notice
as they filled the quiet of the evening breeze with soft laughter and silent conversation
holding fast to each other, to the night, to the moment, to the memory
and there and then
time stood still...
I watched this couple on the beach
two folding chairs so close
and I thought
that could have been
us.

Amy.....
You died today
in summer
though not quite...
in spring
I regret
not speaking softer
and am sorrier for that

But you did tend to doubt me..
and knew me well in that regard

I may have teased
but love was always in the chamber
when I shot
and you were always steady
as a stone
so I assume you must have always known
love, I pray you always knew...
for love is all that's left of you.

love is all that's left of you.
