Let There Be Spaces In Your Togetherness
Let There Be Spaces In Your Togetherness is a wedding reading we’re so excited to share. In some cultures and religious wedding ceremonies, some of the language used when saying your vows can be archaic and old-fashioned, which is why we put together a roundup of wedding readings that are more suited to modern couples who want to reflect the values of today in their love and marriage. One of those readings is Let There Be Spaces In Your Togetherness by Kahlill Gibran. This wedding reading talks about how space is essential in love and relationships. Love doesn’t need to be all-consuming. Instead, this wedding reading is about being in love and being your own individual person at the same time. You don’t have to lessen yourself or give too much of yourself because that is not a healthy relationship. This is easily one of our faves, and if you like it too you can download a free PDF copy of the reading!
Let There Be Spaces In Your Togetherness
By Kahlil Gibran
Let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.
