After the tsunami of feeling, sharing, poetry and opinion that responded to the removal of this beautiful statue, I am so glad that I will be in Glastonbury in September-- By the way there are 2 spaces left in my retreat:

I want to visit her where she now resides in a meadow not near enough to the holy well, but clearly her essence and power are still vibrantly alive.

When I lived in Chartres in 2004, sitting in meditation in the Cathedral in the chapel of Notre Dame du Pillier, I wrote this poem. It is the same experience I have had with the statue in Challce Well and speaks of the reciprocal relationship with the Divine that can occur in sacred space with a beloved icon.

Let me heal you with my Grace

The winds gust on a quiet Monday morning.
I am alone with Mary, bundled in my shawl.
Let me heal you with my grace, she says,
And I face Her.
She is pouring through
The statue with its baroque finery.
I am so glad that I know where to go to find Her.

Time mellows into the Kairos
There are no shuffling tourists today,
Not even the sound of the mass.
I am able to quiet down to the essentials.
Over and over again now with a tune:
Let me heal you with my grace.
I am your constant Mother.

I am just home after two fulfilling pilgrimages to Iona and Portugal. I absolutely love traveling with small groups to sacred sites, drinking in the energies of remarkable places and meeting in a circle of trust and compassion to dive deeply into the resonances that occur in our personal stories.
I invite you to my next adventure in Glastonbury England where we explore the multi-layered mythical landscape of Avalon. We make our home in the beautiful Chalice Well guest house and travel to the ancient sites of Stonehenge for an exclusive dawn ceremony, Avebury and West Kennet Longbarrow as well as the Arturian land and seascape of Tintagel.

I'm looking for four more pilgrims. Come and join the circle! https://circleway.com/?page_id=643

It has been a remarkable week teaching , singing — Being. I have often thought that this street sign is prophetic and that that little red door to the crypt is always the beginning of the magic— leading to soaring inspiration. Ah Chartres!
