The depiction has to do with how her innocence and faithfulness kept her pure and undespoiled, youthful, despite the toll the physical world took on her. But it doesn't work like that, does it?

You need to discipline her.:) I saw your piece and it brought quiet and respect, and almost a tear for the older Mary and it felt good. Then I saw what Ms.Wee had done and I cracked up in laughter and I'm still laughing as I type. like this---->LOLOLOL:)) Happy Mary Day to you and awesome work.GlorV1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06789212398770555465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778937253987192407.post-70231784856090549082012-12-08T10:25:38.464-05:002012-12-08T10:25:38.464-05:00This is a wonderful post, unique. 100 years ago wh...This is a wonderful post, unique. 100 years ago when i used to travel the world and work the fields, I lived in the Mediterranean and the women there who employed us and fed us itinerant farm hands, they were just as you describe.. probably in their 40's the harsh landscape and sun had aged them physically, they looked well into their 60's 70's, agile as we in our 20's, they hard working saintly.. and that not so long ago as this.. these women kept us, nurtured us, taught us about life though our languages were different.. a lovely memory.. thank you.. saints all of them!Lenorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05523570885159399658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-778937253987192407.post-68551524819209939612012-12-08T10:22:12.860-05:002012-12-08T10:22:12.860-05:00I LOVE that picture of an aging, wise Crone - so m...I LOVE that picture of an aging, wise Crone - so much expression in her eyes and yet they still retain the joy of a young girl!<br /><br />And what can I say about Ms. Wee? That picture of her adventure made me laugh! She's a gorgeous girl, a wild maiden still! I have a Maximillian Pionus named Millie who is 18 - she's in charge of everything. Or so she thinks. She's small enough to be in danger when she goes walkabout as I'm afraid of stepping on her. She terrorizes my Border Collie when she bangs her toys against her cage - Kylie, the dog, takes off for the basement!Delphynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024068947467297351noreply@blogger.com
