san miguel de allende 2011
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 december 1,
i post "a virgin a day" every day until december 12,
mary's feast day.
today i am
calling all virgins...
enchanting, traditional, contemporary,
exotic, edgy, campy, irreverent, irresistible,
unusual, joyful, rapturous, lovely,
glorious, ordinary, astounding,
simply
bring her on!
i hope you will join me in a pilgrimage of marys.
feel free to re-post this invitation on your blog,
and link back to
recuerda mi corazon.
as december grows busier we will
quietly greet the new day one mary at a time.
mr. linky will be here to gather all the virgin sightings.
just add your name and direct link back to your virgin
so we can effortlessly share the divine.

for

this celebratory time of year!

Another year has passed. Where did it go. I'll participate as much as possible. Will be gone about half the time. However, I might find Virgins in SoCal and if I do, I'll post to Flickr. I recently discovered that I can post to my blog from Flickr with my PHONE! How cool is that?

This is so lovely, and so fun, Rebecca! I love the marigold-crowned Mary at the end. Having been brought up Catholic, I still have a soft spot in my heart for Mary. :o) Happy Day ((HUGS))

Okay, You've got me again darling friend. Who can resist the Lady of Light. I already have three or four prepared in the wings so that I can continue writing. How is that for organization!
I love you! Beautiful post!

When Mr. Linky is ready this fine Thursday morning, so am I--and so is Mary!

Rebecca... I am looking forward to participating in this. I so enjoyed doing it last year and have been "saving" ideas since last December to post this year. And, it will have healing effects for me as I convelesce.
Like you, I am drawn in to the idea of peace through the Virgin Mary and all the images pertrayed throughout the world.
Thank you for hosting this grand event.
Peace
