Restitution

The seed was planted 

This is the garden.

Ted and I will tie the Knot, the last week of October. Today My "Best Man" and event planner (Role Played Today: Gardener) accompanied me to this amazing space where we ho

pe to commence our marriage. It is called the Angel Orensanz Foundation. The buildi

was constructed In 1845 and served as an Orthodox Synagogue to the then very Yiddish community in Manhattans Lower East Side. For nearly 20 years is was vandalized and abandoned and In 1994 The Angel Orensanz Foundation aquired the space and transformed it into a

 contemporary home for Art and Culture. It has been perfectly restored in

 rustic fashion that blends well with raw beauty and ancient Spirituality. 

The perfect place for two souls to become one who have waited 3000 years to be together.

RESTITUTION

I stood there, in front of the arc

closed my eyes, opened my heart

instantly, I heard the most beautiful sound

I knew then and there, this is the place to break new ground

to build the foundation of a lifetime together

do I really have this merit - to call it "forever".

Welcoming new souls, is our ultimate mission

to give a parentless child the home it's been wishin'

I hope to give hope to those who are in doubt

I am no celebrity, politician, or person with clout.

But I know for sure, it is every person's birthright

It's in the Zohar, My manual from the Light.

This is not a game, of right or wrong

it is just my intuition, singing the same song

telling me what its been telling me for so long

I pray to God that this paves the way

for another couple to have their say

in the presence of their sacred

without fear of the ignorance and hatred

I know there will be challenges that we are sure to face

people who will oppose coming to our place

Those "Holy people" who feel marriage is THEIR "sacred institution"

Will be unnerved at our Final Restitution.
