a virgin a day motherlove

right now, this very moment, she appears,

in a soft white cloud floating in a pure vault sky, 

across blue lakes,

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

inside the open heart of a ripe papaya, the blue green

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

 i don't know what it is about her,

but i can never get enough

of her forever open 

arms

her eternal

motherlove.

calling all virgins...

enchanting, traditional, contemporary, 

exotic, edgy, campy, irreverent, irresistible,

unusual, joyful, rapturous, lovely,

glorious, ordinary, astounding,

simply

 bring her on!

 

 

thank you for being here

welcoming each new day one mary at a time.

Indeed, I do not know what it is but I cannot get enough! thank you for the energy that you put into these twelve days, visiting all participants and leaving meaningful comments!

I, for one, am glad you have this obsession with Mary. It always gladdens my heart to see the diverse images of her.

This is awesome. Love your mother Mary and all of the other examples of finding the sacred in the ordinary.

[Nonnie aka Scrappy Grams]

I not only love seeing the different images of our Blessed Mother, but my heart is gladdened by your descriptive words!
On my blog, I usually have little traffic when I offer photos of my parish church and the surrounding grounds. So I am thrilled to find an audience that you've introduced to me who appreciates the beauty of art in churches.

"Goodness me Mary is it that time again?". x

What an interesting experience this is turning out to be for me. I'm very glad that I decided to participate and thank you for hosting it, Rebecca.

I find Mary one of the most amazing characters in the Christian Bible. She is strong, willful, and ahead of her time.

[Dawn Elliott]

I can't seem to get enough of her either...so many thanks to you for giving us the opportunity to bask in these days of sweet indulgence!

[judie]

This is totally beautiful. Yes, isnt it odd how she"appears" just anywhere and at random? Here, she appeared a couple of years ago on a window glass in huge rainbow colors on a two story building. They said it was from the sprinklers, but...ahem...the sprinklers dont reach two stories high. People came from miles away to view this image. It is gone now. I wonder what her message was.

I always love seeing the other marys!!!!!!!!
My piano teacher used to tell me it was a
MARY Christmas.

[Magical Mystical Teacher]

Mary of the Scorched Tortilla would be my favorite! :)

[Magical Mystical Teacher]

In fact, it has such a nice ring to it--"Mary of the Scorched Tortilla"--that I think a song is order!

[Laurie Zuckerman]

Cool, I like Peggy's comment, "Mary Christmas!!"
Good morning to all on this second day of December.
Looking forward to savoring each and every one of your Mary posts today.
