marriage:
–noun

i have yet to discover the beauty and delicacy of marriage... when two people stand with great gratification in front of only those who have known them and declare their definition of love... their interpretations of what is right to them and thoughs around them.... and to this i ponder on that in a country where freedom of speech and equal rights is the substance and the core to which we call australia home, why doesn't everybody get a chance???
having never understood how marriage can change ones life so dramatically, i took the challenge and with great solace walked the streets of melbourne today with other folk alike, supporting same sex marriages... although my beliefs of marriage differ to many folk i blustered tunes of equability along with many other mums, brothers, nieces, sisters and friends... where clusters of bodies gathered for the same belief... folk whom all love, believe and hurt alike...
this rally wasn't just about marriage, it was about belonging... feeling supported, safe and real... giving one a sense of ownership on ones life... in hopes that someday the right of free speech and equal rights will be real for all...
