Our Lady of Guadalupe (in Toledo, Ohio)
Last Summer, we were driving South on I75, passing Toledo, and I caught a glimpse of this mural. It is painted on the side of Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic school and is visible from the highway. We drove up this morning to photograph her in the early morning light (some sun, but not much). This mural is incredible. Just being there in the relative quietness of the neighborhood (interstate traffic behind us was somewhat muted) seemed like a religious experience.

won't you celebrate with me
won't you celebrate with me
what i have shaped into
a kind of life? i had no model.
born in babylon
both nonwhite and woman
what did i see to be except myself?
i made it up
here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
my one hand holding tight
my other hand; come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.

Thinking Out Loud
not a cage
not a mask
a bridge
of marksmoving across
it all
marks of a life
in the process
of becoming
of starting
of staying
of leaving
of forgetting
of forgiving
