31

I'm thinking of the number 31 today.  Proverbs 31 hails the ideal married woman (who had servants to help her, I might add).  Judges 5:31 says, "Those who love Him are like the sun when it shines in its strength."  May 31 is the anniversary of a certain couple.

"What marriage offers - and what fidelity is meant to protect - is the possibility of moments when what we have chosen and what we desire are the same.  Such a convergence obviously cannot be continuous.  No relationship can continue very long at its highest pitch.  But fidelity prepares us for the return of these moments, which give us the highest joy we can know; that of union, communion, atonement (in the root sense of at-one-ment)... "                                         Wendell Berry, The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essay
