I am grateful on this day,
Sunday 12th December 2010,
for
'A Virgin A Day'
and
The beauty of these last 12 Days
I hadn't thought about it for
a very long time,
I'd almost forgotten!
'A Virgin A Day'
threw me back into my childhood,
I would be about five at the time
when I was chosen to be Mary
for the school Nativity Play,
it was held at our very beautiful village church.
I think they chose me for my dark, curly locks.
I do recall thinking I would
rather be an angel,
on account of their huge, gorgeous wings,
rather than Mary wearing the plain blue dress!
I was more than a little put out too
when they took
the baby Jesus doll off of me!
Knowing what I Know now, I should have
basked a little more in the
glory and privilege
of such an occasion, after all it's not
every day, and everyone who gets
to step into the shoes
of the Virgin!

What a wonderful closing image! Matches your story perfectly.
What a lovely story, really! I can imagine you wanting to play the angel and thinking the blue dress was a bit drab in comparison to gossamer wings. I love your image too. What a great way to end the series, knowing now that you are thankful and being able to look back upon the privilege you had then. I have loved all of your posts. They were so warm, inviting and encouraging of positive energy and interaction. Thank you!

That said, I love the picture you posted. Did you make it? What kind of process gives it that iridescence?
I love the idea of you as a little kid. We all were, obviously, and it's fun to recall what we remember. I too wish I saw the beauty of things, but maybe we do now, later in life, for a reason.
Thanks for sharing during these 12 days. Now that I know how to comment, you haven't seen the last of me.
(Up early watching meteor showers between computer looks, the night sky tonight is awesome!)
Peace.
