Twelve Mornings with Mary - Day 4

 
 
Some joy and some sad
Many faces are Mary's
This is mine today
 
 

 
Conte on Sennelier
 
This will become my latest "Teardrop" painting.
It was a little intense.

    Oh it is just beautiful friend. You've captured your soul with Mary's tear just embracing us. Thank you Judie. I'm going to run over to see your book.:) Take care.

    I love this Mary because she isn't shown as a perpetual adolescent, but as a woman who has grown into her soul.

    truly beautiful. a touching teardrop in your mary love garden.

    you would love the night in san miguel called our lady of sorrows...the entire town decorates all the fountains with flowers and candles and invite everyone into their courtyards and homes to share life size shrines created to comfort mary in her time of great sorrow.

    I agree with Ruby - a very healing image and our tears are balm to the grieving heart - a beautiful painting - my favourite

    It does get sad in our hearts at times. As long as remember to come back to the rest of it, it's OK.
    I love your call to action to seek only happiness today.

    Sorrow seems to be an inescapable part of the human experience.

    When I saw your painting and read the words my first thought was she looks sad but also very caring.

    I've been feeling sad today, just like Mary....Sometimes we have these sad teary days....I think they are as important as the Happy ones.

    Sweet love and sadness lives, in equal parts, in her eyes.

    Sadness is always there to counteract the happiness...couldn't have one without the other. We can only hope for more of the latter in our lives, no? Mary can help!

    Sorry you are sad today, but it's oh so human to have our ups and downs. I like the old Progoff metaphor of tears being how we water our roses. I was also amazed at your post from yesterday; I never saw that image in the news before.
