Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I'm jumpy!  I tend to have the delusion I'm responsible for everyone and everything, so the wedding coming up makes me wonder who wants to see who, what I should suggest and what I can do to facilitate a harmonious event.  Now, I'm not even the bride's mother, but I have the jitters.  I am also feeling this overwhelming need to protect, amplified by the horror in Las Vegas.  I want everyone safe and happy and yet, the world being what it is, darkness is always just on the edge of the horizon.  I remember when our older son married, it was ten days after 9/11, and we debated whether to cancel, or how it would impact travel, etc.  The consensus was to go ahead, and we did, but it was bittersweet.  Yet many guests told me they "needed" this joyful event to counter what had just happened.  Now there is this cloud of hurricanes, earthquakes and human malevolence in the air, yet we will be by the sparkling ocean celebrating two people joining their lives together.  Paradoxical, magical, touching and brave.
