Virgin A Day #11

“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.”
― Rumi
Blessed Virgin Mary at St. Aloysius Catholic Church, Mantin, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia

    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.

    may we always begin and end with love.

    I am in love with the first picture but I cannot read where it is from - the white on black plus the print is so small. I am wondering because I would like to save it to my Mary folder. Please let me know!!

    All of these images are precious, but I especially love the photo in Malaysia. There is so much depth to it.

“Roses and thorns are parts of the same plant. Somehow though, some people are concerned mainly about the roses. The rose is not on the plant for more than a week, but the thorns are there forever. Roses are teaching that the beauty of life will bloom, once you have taught yourself the lessons given by living with the thorns.”  ―  Grigoris Deoudis This post is part of the  Nature Footstep meme.  A meme all about flowers and macro shots.

Out of 2000 students, Frida was one of only 35 women accepted into the prestigious institution. However in 1925  at the age she was severely injured in a bus accident in  which she suffers fractures to her spine, collarbone and ribs, a shattered pelvis, and shoulder and foot injuries. While she is bed-ridden and encased in a body cast   Frida began to paint lying in bed with a special easel r...
