On Tuesday — our 2nd anniversary — the family renewed marriage vows.

From the Oghatarana Sutta:

The Buddha was asked, “How did you cross the flood?”

By not halting, friend, and by not striving I crossed the flood.

When I came to a standstill, I sank; but when I struggled, I was swept away. It is in in this way that by not halting and by not straining I crossed the flood. (S.i.1)
