this is what i am drawn to.
seeker that i am, to the heart of each moment.
the sacred,
hidden within the ordinary.
the eternal conviction that we are all inextricably bound together.
the belief that divinity resides in each of us,
and the honest desire to coax it out
of each fleeting moment.

Mary is in her own niche of cosmic energy and it looks like it is coming from her heart chakra. ♥♥♥

Hello Rebecca,
I have something rather "extra-ordinary" for you today at the angels wear fins. I hope you enjoy it :). I think I had more fun doing it than any post I have done in a long time. Your image today is completely breathtaking. I love what you have said here about the divine within each of us,and the willingness to see it in each moment, in each face and hear it even in the voices that only whisper around us, to touch it when we reach out to grab the hand of someone in need.
xoxox,
Noelle

Those are some great photographs and wonderful art. We are all bound together. It makes sense. Not all people see it or feel it. For those that don't, we need to pray, for those that do, we need the same. We are all one.

Your words state so clearly what is in my heart. It would take me hours of writing and too many words to say what you have simply put. The photograph is exquisite.
love you

When I look at that photo it makes me wonder.....is the LIGHT coming from her....or traveling through her.....
either way is good, right?

Rick's version of Our Lady is stunning and your words will stay with me on this church morning, followed by a 2 1/2 hour class. I hope you are feeling well during this Advent period. I think of you often. Thanks for giving us a home for A Virgin a Day.
