the simple act of lifting the veil
looking deeper
within.
ending with beauty
lingering at each radiant offering of
adoration.
it is as if we are singing out
through the fabric
of each day.
that remains to comfort and brighten all the
days of our lives.

this is one of my favorite marys.
if you ever
i promise
to take you to her side.

MMMMmmmmm...I've been waiting for her to show up. I do believe that she's my all-time favorite madonna! Thank you for introducing me to her on that incredible trip to San Miguel together. Each adventure is better than the last...I can't wait to see what awaits us for Holy Week 2013!

that virgin/manniken must be very old by the looks of the wood construction. Nice.

oh, my! Her passion for us lowly humans is shown in her eyes, bringing hope to us for whom she intercedes to her Son.

Late to start, but I did post today with an old photo from an unknown person's album in the 1930s featuring photos of South America and Mexico. I particularly love this photo. Thanks for hosting us.
