The Vows

The Vows are not accessories.
They’re commitments.
They don’t exist to decorate one moment, one shelf, or one special occasion.
They celebrate ordinary Mondays and rainy Sundays.
A quiet reminder that these days count too.

A beautiful vase doesn’t need birthday flowers.
Wildflowers from the roadside will do.
So will one rose.
The rest is presence – and a smile, every time you look at it.

Porcelain chosen for meals that don’t need witnesses.
Crystal glasses turn after-work pasta into a celebration.
Even if you’re cheering with yourself.

Bedlinens that don’t wait for dates.
Any night will do.

Nothing here is meant to be saved.
Nothing postponed.
Nothing kept for “someday.”

A glass you reach for.
A vase you leave out.
Beauty that enters your life now.
Not when everything feels ready.

Because life doesn’t happen on milestones.
It happens in between.

And that’s where the vows are kept.
