On Our 50th Anniversary

On Our 50th Wedding Anniversary
My Gift to Susan
A Song – An Anthem
US
On August 23rd, 1966 Susan and I exchanged vows – promises to love and cherish each other for the rest of our lives.   I have come to understand this journey and our relationship in a particular way – a way discovered through the writing and performance of The Actual Dance.  ​The song started as a poem I wrote and presented to her as my gift 4 years ago.
Today I am honored to present to her the song.

Listen to US here:

The lyrics are:

US

Life exists within each of us -- a form of the Divine.

A tangible essence of who we are.

Love is when our essence became entwined.

Each an equal half of the other.

"I love you" simply awakens the US in you and me.
