Holy Blessed Virgin Mary, thanks for allowing nothing to share this day with you, on its Confirmation anniversary 13 years ago, as well as its life-altering, bodily, temporal crucifixion 24 years ago.
There sat I, a lone musician,
full moon belly, draped in black.
Wheat-haired cherubim, both girls,
flank my chair, touch the swollen womb.
Infant feet extend in birthing.
In amazement my hands hold them,
while to Jesus-man I say,
"This is an enormous baby!"
And it was the largest infant
ever birthed inside a dream.
Milk flowed freely from right breast,
filling empty cups with excess.
Carried the babe, the Mary girl,
clothed in dress of azure-blue,
carried her into Temple hall.
Such a joy to nurture Mary:
Honored Queen of world above,
Mother-love of earth below.
Never known by oh, so many.
Vague relationship with me,
I thought,
'til now I hold Her
in my arms,
my Holy Mother.
[From lucid dream nearly 13 years ago, in which the Blessed Virgin Mary was born to nothing to commemorate its infant relationship with her. Jesus' way of showing how nothing, as a baby Catholic, must nurture devotion to Mary and care for her--with the tenderest love a mother has for her baby. Nothing promised to love the Mother of our Lord with all its mother-heart! Praises!
And this day, in the Mary Garden of Agnus Dei Hermitage, nothing photographs some roses to offer the Queen, its mother, the mother of all souls living and dead and yet to come. In deepest gratitude from where ever it is now...here, there, always with Mother.]
