no place like home

Earlier, I wrote a ceremony in which a garden was planted.  I described the ceremony as having small pots of soil and a scattering of seeds.  As the couple would place a seed into the soil, the officiant would say - "This is the seed of love, let it grow" 
"This is the seed of forgiveness, let it grow" etc, etc.  I imagine this same analogy could be used with bird seed and a feeder.
Picture
The feeder would represent the Home that the couple will share a life in.  A "Home is where the Heart is."  During the ceremony the couple will pour bird seed into the feeder.  The seed represent the seeds of life, love and family, all experiences over flowing.  They are the seeds of play, laughter and joy.  Seeds of hopes, dreams and change.  Mixed among them may be seeds of sorrows or pains, but the blessing seeds, far outweigh them.  These are the seeds that  will fill the couples Home and all that they will experience, endure, embrace and grow from.  After all, "There's no place like home."

    I believe in the ceremony of things. I believe in making personal occasions PERSONAL.
