a virgin a day

 

a virgin a day

 

right now, this very moment, she appears... across blue 

lakes, scorched on a burnt tortilla, a water stain beneath some distant bridge, 

in a soft white cloud floating on a pure vault sky, inside the open heart of a ripe papaya, the blue green

sheath of humble agave. a fast taxi tossing roses from an open window.

 i don't know what it is about her,

but i can never get enough. 

each year beginning on december 1, 

i post "a virgin a day" every day until december 12,

mary's feast day.

i hope you will all join me!

mr. linky will be here to gather all the virgin sightings.

just add your name and direct link back to your virgin 

day by day, so we can effortlessly

share the divine. 

***

welcome all virgins...

enchanting, traditional, contemporary, 

exotic, campy, irreverent, irresistible,

unusual, joyful, rapturous, lovely,

glorious, ordinary, astounding,

simply

just bring her on!

This is a lovely idea. I grew up with Mary in our house. I am not sure about participating in this one, but I the idea, truly. whatever happened to paper? did I miss that entirely? This is a fantastic post, Rebecca. I do remember all of those stories of the appearances of Our Lady of Guadalupe from childhood. They are still dear to my heart.

I'm sitting here thinking.... Imight have some ideas for thios, we'll see. Whether I find Our Lady here and there or not, I am glad to touch base with you. We have so much to share. Seems like we've both been so busy. Peace, Love and Light to you and all you hold dear.

"a virgin a day" - do you know, I completely misunderstood what this post would be about when I read the title?
You use words beautifully.

Have a nice day, Boonie

When we adopted our old camper van we call 'Celeste' (because every journey so far has been 'cosmic'), she came complete with a little statue of Mary, she's been on the dash board all along!!!

Looking forward to the postings.

I wasn't going to participate, but now I think I shall. A month ago, my dwelling was burglarized, and I lost my external hard drive, along with other electronics. On that hard drive were some glorious pictures of the Virgin that I had taken at Mission San Xavier del Bac near Tucson. Sadness upon sadness. However, just two days ago, I had the opportunity to revisit the mission and now, I am happy to say, I have some photos of the Virgin that are even more glorious than the ones I took several months ago!

Lovely Rebecca - I am loving all your Mexico posts too. So much beauty and Mexican grace. Here is a link to some madonnas I have made. She is in my house and heart too, always. Love this. Fran

Fran sent me here to share a blog post I did last summer about a Virgin about 2 hours from me. Here's the link to my blog: http://kaysthinkingcap.blogspot.com/2010/08/wandering-with-kay.html

And here's the link to the story behind her:

I hope you enjoy her as much Fran and I do.
La Virgen de Guadalupe sits and keeps watch over me as I blog which is probably how I keep from going over the edge.

And oh yeah, I'm adding you to my list.
