woke early to spend some quiet time with my mother
ID (also in alt text): an open notebook is propped up in front of a small personal altar dedicated to Mary the Mother of Jesus. It has a teal cloth as its base, with a rosary, candle, labyrinth and Mary statue, some geodes and other stones, an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and more. There's also a sticker by artofmarza with a simple image of Mary from the shoulders up, smiling softly; text under her reads "at least mom loves me."
The second image is a close up of the open notebook, dated July 18, 7am. A prayer is scrawled in purple ink:
Mother, Untier of knots, Mary,
My spirit is all knotted up
like some garment i've left
crumpled in a closet corner
for too long.
i am not gentle
with myself.
Will you help me?
will you take my spirit,
unfold and smooth it out,
get to work on these tangles
with the same gentleness you had
combing out your little boy's hair?
And will you who believed in your son
before he believed in himself
believe in me?
