i had not expected
such perfect grace to fill
all our moments.
i had not anticipated the deep comfort
twelve days of mary
would bring.
i never realized how something so simple
could become, so extraordinary.
this gorgeous sharing, magnificent beauty;
filling each day together.
beginning and ending with the
offering of peace.
***
dear ones,
each morning we have thrown open the doors to our hearts.
we have called out glory, love, compassion.
day after day we have set out welcoming chairs in the
house of belonging,
lifted the veil of sacred existence.
beveled off the edges of difference and distance
to see more deeply the
unbearable beauty of simply being
ONE.
for this and so much more i thank you.
as you know i will be away from the computer.
i hope you know that
it means the world to me that we have walked these twelve says side by side
and brightened each new dawn with Mary love.
i promise to visit you soon.

This is quite possibly my favorite Mary of all times...her face says it all, no?
Be safe in your travels to San Miguel at this most joyous of times, and have the best trip ever, as you enjoy new adventures and friends. You will all be in my thoughts constantly!

Travel safe and return with stories and images.
I enjoyed exploring the images of Mary in old masters paintings.
Always discovering !

You are now in San Miguel de Allende and I assume you've posted the last two days of our Twelve Day of Mary before you left. Even with wi-fi everywhere these days, I assume you will be very busy. Such a beautiful image from many different angles. I feel like I'm home and a peace comes over me looking at it. Have a great trip.
