So I’m just at the end of season 2 of Kidding (one day later from “Despair is an eagle.”) and something else caught my “ear”.

Although we grow older, there is always more the universe has to teach us.
It is even a greater gift when one encounters a fellow traveler with that same childlike spirit who wishes to grow and learn and marvel along with you.
Recognizing this, I ask you, Jeff, to look into Jill’s eyes and tell her.
Do you vow to nurture and be nurtured, protect and be protected, nourish and be nourished, so that you may grow in this world together?

• I do.

What a lovely thing to say by the Dalai-Lama but it kinda popped out to me as nurture, protect and nourish are things parents do to their children, or people with their plants. Such unusual vows! I wrote an article ages ago about more Traditional Wedding Vows and these are not very traditional but I suppose having the great wise one officiate a wedding is not quite traditional.
