{Our time in PEI} ~ Gran's Haven ~ Our Blue Bedroom

Lovely wall paper, a sleigh bed, lace and wood floors.

 Dolls and period lamps...

A beautiful face of a time gone by.

*

I kept thinking when I was in PEI:

this bedroom is very adequate in the sense of

a British home where all is there

but all is essential. 

*

I found myself wishing to use the pitcher and bowl for washing

one's face and I did enjoy some time reading books

in this room; including the forward to Lewis' 

A Grief Observed by Madeleine L'Engle that a new but

did not feel new to me friend at the wedding said

is the main thing she remembers reading of Lewis' book.

*

It seemed somehow though appropriate,

that one reads of marriages that lasted till death parted them

on that weekend of my dear friend S. wedding

where so many gathered to celebrate the joining of 

a couple in Holy Matrimony, that creating a unity of one 

from two lives;

weddings are like a birth and marriage is a 

long fulfillment and working out of that birth.
