“Of Friendship,” Michel de Montaigne
In
In the friendship I speak of, our souls mingle and blend with each other so completely that they efface the seam that joined them, and cannot find it again. If you press me to tell why I loved him, I feel that this cannot be expressed, except by answering: Because it was he, because it was I. Beyond all my understanding, beyond what I can say about this in particular, there was I know not what inexplicable and fateful force that was the mediator of this union. We sough each other because we met because of the reports we heard of each other, which had more effect on because
our affection than such reports would reasonably have;; I think it was by some ordinance from heaven. We embraced each other by our names. And at our first meeting, which by chance came at a great feast and gathering in the city, we found ourselves so taken with each other, so well acquainted, so bound together, that from that time on nothing was so close to us as each other.
I Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love never fails!
"Sonnet 116," Shakespeare
Let
Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no;; it is an ever-­fixed mark, That looks on tempests, and is never shaken;; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come;; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
“As freedom is a breakfast food,” E.E. Cummings
as freedom is a breakfast food
or truth can live with right and wrong
or molehills are from mountains made
—long enough and just so long
will being pay the rent of seem
and genius please the talent gang
and water most encourage flame
as hat racks into peach trees grow
or hopes dance best on bald men’s hair
and every finger is a toe
and any courage is a fear
—long enough and just so long
will the impure think all things pure
and hornets wail by children stung
or as the seeing are the blind
and robins never welcome spring
nor flatfolk prove their world is round
nor dingsters die at break of dong
and common’s rare and millstones float
—long enough and just so long
tomorrow will not be too late
worms are the words but joy’s the voice
down shall go which and up come who
breasts will be breasts thighs will be thighs
deeds cannot dream what dreams can do
—time is a tree (this life one leaf)
but love is the sky and I am for you
just so long and long enough
To our wonderful parents and grandparents, we love you

Mum & Magnanamarcus, Pappa Bear, and Pops & Momma
Grandad Rueth, Baba, GP & GV, Grandma Massey, Nonna, Grandma Sue & Grandpa Lew, and Grandpa Don & Gr. Mitzi
To our family and friends, thank you for enriching our
lives, challenging our spirits, and being a part of our world:
“Friendship is born at that moment when one man says to another: "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself… What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.” -­ C.S. Lewis
In loving memory of those gone to soon, but with us
always in our hearts:
Marco “Papa” Randazzo, Laura Randazzo, Michael Randazzo, Fatoneh “Aziz” Tehrani, Patricia Rueth, Grandad Massey
