Dear Mary,
Life is fragile yet, strong, mesmerizing. I have been on this journey now for 30 years, and I must say, life has been an enriching experience. Amidst my aloofness towards life’s trials, the sun shines brightly over me. I wonder, if it weren’t for the way life smiled at me, would I be who I am? Would I love the way I do and seek the great lord God? If the answer is no, then I shall see to it that the smile of life remains upon me, for without this comforting smile, life wouldn’t be. They say that life can change a person, but I have discovered that rather than changing me, life has accepted me and brought me closer to realizing who I am, Mary. Who is Mary? Mary is merry. My smile is my signature, and my happiness is a testament of God’s mighty glory. I am a devotee, and warrior, although not many people see me as either. I am unseen by many, known by none. Although I converse with loved ones daily, they see a perception of me, an image heavily clouded by the deceptive physical world, an illusion. I am not who I appear to be.
Loved ones see me as fragile, and delicate, capable of shattering, unable to handle life’s harshness. To them I am a work in progress, a piece of art that has been drawn on a blank canvas, but lacks color, and fine intricate details. I am a challenge for myself, unable to find a job, unable to manage my health, and unable to sustain new opportunities, all the things that many see as bringing the ultimate satisfaction to life. In essence, I am a failure, a monetary burden, and a lost ray of hope…but is that truly me? Not the slightest bit. I am like a riddle, mysterious, and esoteric. There are many secrets inside of me akin to the ethereal secrets of life. I am depth, meaningful, and symbolic. My words can be a melody of divine grace, or a sharp sword, righteous. My thoughts are noble, and virtuous, glorifying the great lord God. I am in essence, godly. The image of Mary, to the world is a sad one, but to the great lord God, is perfection. This is it…this is what life appears to be, when nothing is working… in the physical world. When nothing is working in the physical world, God is working behind the scenes.
God’s magic hand is working its wonders in my beautiful life right now. I am masked, disguised by my karmic entanglements, unperceivable to the world, like God himself. The beauty of this is like a chrysalis. As I, the larva rest inside, there is something extravagant and magical happening. My life is transforming into a wonder. This life will be a wonder in divine timing. I will emerge, from my chrysalis, and take form as who I truly am. The process is divine and sacred, so holy, only God can fathom. In the meantime, I have made a sacred commitment to share my heartfelt epistles with the world, and to embark upon a deeper spiritual quest. As I share my heart and my divine truth with the world, I pray that love is bestowed upon mankind. For today, the world is lost while having heard of love, but soon it will be blessed having experienced it in its purest form. May the grace of the lord God, be upon you forevermore.
–Mary
