Today is the feast day of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, and after communion, I almost cried listening to the cantor sing "Ave Maria." It is such a stirring song, so beautiful, so strong. It's simply the "Hail Mary" prayer sung in latin, but it's amazing to me. One of my mom's cousins sang it at my Grandma Dolores' funeral in 1993 and I just now, as I sit here typing, realized that was what the connection was. THAT was why I felt so moved... but the song is beautiful and amazing no matter what memory it holds.
>>I just realized I started this blog a year ago yesterday, and I only have 10 posts. It was supposed to be about my art, but life is art, I suppose, so I'll write about whatever comes to mind and if art makes its way in here, then it will.
