Some of my favourite secret locations.

It’s your wedding day.

Imagine that before today, your life was lived in the top of an hourglass, a world shaped grain by grain.

Every person who loved you,
every laugh you shared,
every challenge that built you,
every moment that strengthened you,
they all gathered there, quietly forming who you became.

Family, friends, mentors, heartbreaks, joy and victories collected over the years like tiny pieces of time, falling gently into the person standing here now.

Every one of them mattered. Everything led you to this place.

Then there is the narrow middle, the smallest part of the hourglass, the briefest passage of time. Your  wedding day.

A moment where the entire weight of your story meets the full hope of your future.

A moment when every grain of yesterday passes through one perfect and fleeting point in time.

This is why it feels sacred, why it feels electric, why the world seems to pause just long enough for you to breathe it in.

In this slender centre of time, every important thing from your past converges.


All who helped shape you.
All who walked beside you.
All the love poured into you.
It all passes through.

The sand continues falling.

It flows downward into the life you now build together. A new shape, a new story. One formed from the foundation of everything that came before, yet written by your hands from this day forward.

Your future is not separate from your past. It is born from it, grown from it, guided by it.

This is the beauty of a wedding day. It is not only a celebration but the exact moment when the top of the hourglass becomes the beginning of the bottom. A transformation. A release. A new direction for the same sand that has always been yours.

Today is the moment everything comes together.
Tomorrow is the world you build with all that love behind you.

Personal

A Christmas Story. Ethan sat in his SUV outside the grocery store, the heater running and Christmas music filling the cabin. The windshield was clear, but he stayed where he was, hands resting on the steering wheel, eyes fixed on nothing in particular. It had been a good year. A promotion. A new car. A […]

World News

Choosing Compassion in a Time of Division My heart has been heavy with the news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. A life cut short by violence is always tragic, but what has weighed even more is the reaction. Some have celebrated the news. Others have implied he deserved it. That, to me, reveals something broken in […]
