In Amazement at the Magdalene in Paris at L’église de la Madeleine – photo by Jonathan (see how tiny I am in comparison to the altar? I have never seen a feminine image so large in form and in spirit. Created in 1837
I drink your water.
I light your candles.
I stand on your stones.
I lean into your pillars.
I am so happy to see you.
My heart leaps for joy
at the great space you occupy.
I ask you:
Where do you really dwell
ma belle dame Magdalena?
I lean in to listen
three giant angels lift you up
I feel their wings on my cheeks.
Your answer comes
a heart illumined by love is where I am.
I see it
the heart as a lamp lit up,
a chamber of light.
a woman seeking her source is where I am.
I feel it
your holy water coursing
in our gardens.
He picked you to appear to, first.
And we too, pick you.
They say your stance here
with your body lifted and arms spread in amazement,
ascending to love is called: Ecstasy
Here in this sanctuary fashioned
after a Roman temple that honored war
that now honors love.
I drink your water.
Choosing ecstasy with you.
Beautiful !!

I feel your connection…so deep and the waters of your soul and our souls touched by this Great (big) Mother…who holds us, who is loved and protected by the angels, who teaches creative outpouring of love. Thank You Shiloh! And With Love….
As I read your words, for a fleeting moment the chamber was there at the front of my awareness, an illumined heart became a temple, filled with golden light and crystalline music, large enough to enter, to shelter and to offer the world. Thank you for all that you share with us Shiloh.
Dear sweet Shiloh
How I love this church! And Mary!! Can you imagine her love for HIM and his love for her to come to her first!
Then Paris. My heart and soul breath deep there. It is a magical place. Full of love and beautiful light. I hope you get to the countryside too.
Many Blessings
