Perhaps Mary Magdalene could have been a Bodhisattva in human form, to be a companion to Jesus, one who could understand his spiritual mission.

I’m sorry I had forgotten about your Tara article. I’m so tired from preparations for moving, my brain is fried.

Yes, Tara — what a wonderful comparison. Or Quan Yin, one of my favorites. Thanks for bringing up your May 9 article about Tara. It’s a beautiful article & I enjoyed reading it again. Women these days don’t usually think of themselves as (potential) Bodhisattvas! 🕉️ Also, thanks for adding the meditation practice for Mary’s vigil. 🧘🏻‍♀️

So,

This speaks to the me I see

With eyes closed

I sit, silent. Physically still.

In a room, walls made of stone. Maybe a castle keep, a tower.

The light of one candle

My heart at times on fire

All this that you've written

Burns me with sacred fire

And I feel peace

The love all consuming.

Waiting at the tomb of love

trusting that love

can be resurrected,

that somehow all this

has not been in vain,

that I am not the author

of these words but only

one trumpet among legions

in a hidden family of prophets

who are rising from the

ground like mushrooms

growing amid stones

the empire refused

and cast into the valley

of refuse where the

voice of love gathers the

bones together to assemble

a new body of starchildren

anointed by their own tears

and synchronized into the

mycelium theopneusticated

by their desperate poetry

that Yeshua and Miriam

could return in a thousand

different bodies of lovers

who embody the divine

mystery of Shiva and Shakti

whose eternal gaze of love

is the core creative act

within all things just like

the breath of the world

and his consort the body.
