" The Body is Like Mary
The body is like Mary, and each of us has a Jesus inside.
Who is not in labour, holy labour? Every creature is.
See the value of true art, when the earth or a soul
is in the mood to create beauty;
for the witness might then for a moment know,
beyond any doubt, God is really there within,
so innocently drawing life from us with Her umbilical universe – infinite existence …
though also needing to be born. Yes, God also
needs to be born!
Birth from a hand’s loving touch. Birth from a song,
from a dance, breathing life into this world.
The body is like Mary, and each of us, each of us has a Christ within. "
