With Mara Ljutjuk's painting "Blood is thicker then Water" (2014) on the cover and with Kaur Riismaa's design it took a form of a beautiful book.
At the wedding ceremony we read two of the poems from the book: Mahendra's "A Home" and my "the two of us".
The book cannot be found in shops, it was printed as a limited number of copies. Everyone interested to take a look inside, should contact us directly.
Mahendra Mahey "A Home"
Finding a place inside me that is home
A place which feels good
Warm, comfortable
Full of love, kindness
Forgiveness and infinite bliss
Where I can be me
Where I can face me
Where I am not afraid
Where I can return to where I came from
A familiar place
An open place
An inviting place
Simple and modest
Where guests feel at home and are safe
Where kindness, respect, laughter and fun flourish
Where things happen to make us shine as human beings
There is inspiration to do magnificent things
A space to be humble
There is a fire
A warm place
You can hear nature
I want to share this home and life together...
Together we will share love
On a spiritual and physical level
We will transcend sexually and spiritually
We will share the mundane
And see the beauty in the simple things
We will lift each other when we needed lifting
We will respect each other
Be kind
A place where we can be our authentic selves
Where we can be vulnerable
We choose to be together
And realise that it is a choice each day
We will take care of its magic
We will work really hard not to take it for granted
We will understand, respect
Treasure the incredible gift we have been given
I am ready to do this together
To work, to sacrifice and compromise
A home
Where we can be independent
And not lose us
A Home
Aija Sakova "the two of us"
yes
we are
going to start
all over again
breath it all in
the excitement
the anxiety
the pure joy
then
arriving in Tallinn
over Warsaw
your past
you did not know
what was awaiting for you
in this wintery city
now
coming via Helsinki
into the future
summer of this city
you know
a girly women
a homely place
future unfolding itself
trusting itself into our hands
clumsy of excitement
and hunting fears
there are
the two of us now
you know
equally overjoyous
and scared
the boy and the girl
liking each other
and planning to hang out
together
in the thing
they call life
without competition
with kindness honesty
respect and understanding
a safe place
for exchange
of love
ideas
fears
compassion
excitement
sadness
fragility
also
the fuck-ups
a safety net
that we need to braid
together
the two of us
you know
over space
and time
to hold us
when needed
support and amplify
our love
the you and the me
in our individuality
