A shared vision...

“Till death do us part”. Stern cold words placed in the text of what for some is a truly romantic and wonderful day. However harsh they may be these words serve to underscore the impermanence of our lives and our lives together as couples. If we are lucky to be drawn together with another human and find a common shared vision we should be thankful not of what it can do for us but thankful what we can do to the world we live in. We all have a limited time that has been given to us; use it wisely with a good heart.

Allow us to shed some light on the history of "limn," a word with lustrous origins. "Limn" traces to the Middle French verb "enluminer" and ultimately to the Latin "illuminare," which means "to illuminate." Its use as an English verb dates from the days of Middle English; at first, "limn" referred to the action of illuminating (that is, decorating) medieval manuscripts with gold, silver, or brilliant colors. William Shakespeare extended the term to painting in his poem Venus and Adonis: "Look when a painter would surpass the life / In limning out a well-proportioned steed . . . ."
