Virgin A Day #8


Watch "Ave Maria ( Caccini ) - Libera" on YouTube

This past Monday as I walked up a hill to my job, I listened to Pandora internet radio as I usually do.
I was pleasantly surprised when the song Ave Maria by the boy's choir Libera started playing.I had never before heard it on this station. I thought it was a coincidence that it came on at a time when my head is full of Mary images from all the wonderful blogs I've visited in the past few days.
I  stopped and sat to savor the delightful music and enjoyed the sunny morning.Visions of Mary danced in my head.For those five minutes I felt totally peaceful.
It's moments like that,  beautiful in their simplicity, that I cherish.

    As they say, "There are no coincidences" It may not even be about you, but your thought was there for a reason. Sometimes, we get to know that reason, but always be prepared that some other times, we will never know. Glad you had a moment with Mary.

    Peace

    I enjoyed that. I listen to Pandora too. Hope your computer is soon up and going or do you use you phone most of the time now like my daughter does. It is pretty handy.

“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.

She was one of four daughters. Frida did not plan to become an artist .She had been studying Medicine at the " Escuela Nacional Preparatoria" in Mexico City. 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.
