Virgin de Guadalupe
Mi Guadalupe is a girl gang leader in Heaven.
She is unlike the pale blue serene woman.
She is serene, yes, like a great ocean is serene.
She is obedient, yes, like the sunrise
is obedient to the horizon line.
She is sweet yes,
Like a huge forest of sweet maple trees.
She has a great heart, vast holiness,
and like any girl gang leader ought,
substantial hips.
Her lap is big enough
to hold every last one of us.
Her embrace
can hold us,
All...
and with such Immaculate Love.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes

How I love the lap that's big enough to hold all of us! Yes, even the ones we don't particularly like. (Sometimes we ourselves are not particularly likable.) A blessed Monday to all!

This is so beautiful. Love MMT's words as well. She can hold all YES, even the ones we don't like.
