The Passion of the Christ.....
INTENSE!
Whether you are religious or not, this film captures a great imagery of historical events. I recommend this!
For Geraldine: This is Women's HERstory Month.
- Mary Magdalene
According to gnostic tradition Mary was associated with wisdom, represented by the moon, sun and a halo of stars.
The name Mary derives from the hebrew word migdal (tower). During the Qumran era Mary was not just a name but in fact it was an important title. It was a form of Miriam (the name of the sister of Moses and Aaron). Miriams (Marys) took part in a formal ministry within spiritual orders.
Marey was 27 when she married Jesus. Mary had her first child at age 30, a girl who they named Tamar. At age 34 she gave birth to their second child, a son who they named Jesus.
Mary gave birth to her third child "Joseph" who was the all important grail child. Mary was 41 years old when she had Joseph.
Mary was Gnostic and Jesus respected her right to choose her own religeon.
In order to change the history of Jesus and Mary the roman catholic church chose to discredit Mary Magdalene. To accomplish this they made use of ambiguous comments in the new testament. Comments that described Mary as a sinner, the truth of which is that it actually meant she was a celibate undergoing assessment in betrothal.
Mary Magdalene died in A.D. 63 aged 60 years old. She died in southern france.
Mary Magadalenes remains were preserved at the abbey of St Maximus. Charles 11 of Sicily, count of province, disintered Marys skull and upper arm bone in 1279. He then ordered to have them set in gold and silver in which they still remain today. Mary's cave of solitude is to be found nearby at La Sainte Baume.

Chapter 3
The world around me has grown more disappointing each day. Late, last year, I had a gypsy tell me that I would experience some disappointment the first 3 months of the new year. Never ignore your elders.
Am I the only one.....
Sometimes I want to scream... "Leave me the fuck alone!" But no, I just turn the other cheek and pretend to never exist to anything.

Opeth - The Night and Silent Water
And so you left us
Jaded and gaunt, some September
Wilted with the seasons
But hidden inside the delusion
I saw you eyes, somewhere
Devoid of death
The aura poises amidst (the storm)
In solid tears I linger
A parlour glade, moonlit sorrow
Lonely resting pools
Relics of the moon-dogged lake
Whisper: "All your words are missgiven"
Am I like them?
Those who mourn and turn away
Those who would give anything
To see you again
If only for another second
Your face was,
like the photograph
Painted white
We did not speak very often about it
What does it matter now?
Cloak of autumn shroud
I gaze, dim ricochet of stars
I reckon it is time for me to leave
You sleep in the light
Yet the night and the silent water
Still so dark

you are the raddest chick i know and it's cool you went to the polysics show. they're a fun band!
don't let anything get to you so easily because people even ourselves can be so cruel to each other and not really mean it. fuck it all and don't worry about the bad shit.
aside from family problems, someone i consider a close friend has stopped talking to me for the second time. now, if the first time she started to ignore me hurted enough the second time is the last draw. i can't deal with it anymore because i have too much feelings and that's my fault. i thought friends were suppose to be close and care about one another.
i just think it's an insult when she writes in one of her comics about me that she stopped talking to me for no reason. even if it was for no reason, she did it to me again and i feel it's all my fault.
all i can do is forget about it all and pretend i never felt anything even though i did.
i don't like living in such a selfish world but it tries so hard to make us into selfish human beings. and, i just want to want to relax and not be so worried about everything. i want some rest.
you're my back checking cuz, alright!
ACID LOVE
sincerely
MIster
ps the sleepy profile pic makes you a radisourous
Hugs and snogs,
