for some 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,
within the blue green
sheath of humble agave.
for others
she is the wisdom and mother love we look for
in the eyes of every woman we know.
in the heart of everyone
we meet.
thank you dear friends.
to begin and end each day together has been a bright blessing.
such a welcome pause,
this stirring of hearts, this tending of grace.
together we have turned our intentions to
peace, beauty, tenderness and light.
i have cherished every step in
our twelve days of mother love;
thank you for sharing yours.

Thank you Rebecca, for allowing me to participate in these last 12 days (as many as I could). It brought a peaceful feeling to my heart, and even joy when I read your lovely poetic thoughts each day. Bless you. xo

I'm so glad you hosted us again this year. What a stunning Mary you have posted today and, as always, your words bring great comfort. When I was first introduced to your blog and the 12 days annual project, my life was greatly enriched. Merry Christmas to you. Do you have a link to your stained glass studio? I'd love to see where you create. Did you get snow in Prescott?
