Mary Magdalene has always felt to me like Jesus, most loyal follower. Even if she wasn’t at the Last Supper, I can imagine her being the one who set the table and prepared the meal. She feels like an everywoman – someone who carries the judgment and misunderstanding that so many women have faced, whether for past mistakes, perceived flaws, or simply for not fitting society’s expectations.

I don’t believe she was a prostitute. I think she was a strong, capable woman who may have simply been ahead of her time. People judged her and labeled her unfairly, but Jesus saw her for who she truly was – a good and faithful person. And really, that’s what all of us should strive to be. Great write, j

Powerful work, my friend.

Thank you, Thomas.

Powerfully penned, Jacob. Not to mention she penned a gospel that was left out of the Bible, of course it was. A lot of sexist men in power, who never wanted women to be treated equally. Just my opinion. lol. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

Well said, my friend. How can we possibly know those buried under thousands of years of dust, when we do not know those who live among us, friends we see and hear, and touch, who share our very houses, not even those who stare blankly back from mirrors?

What an enigmatic poem for an enigmatic figure. Perhaps it shall unravel the collective misunderstanding of the centuries and provide a new light for her.

Hola! I wondered when you’d share more of your talent! Seems life is good with you Amiga 🌼

This is a beautiful take on playing the piano.

Beautifully penned, Adel. Into the book it belongs! You know how much I love poems that highlight music, excellent write my friend. The art compliments the write nicely. Great to see you posting again. Appreciate you.

The pic reminds me of you, of course! Especially the long, beautiful hair! And, I can see you writing, if not playing the piano. Your words are music to my eyes.
This is a “not so secret anymore” wonderful love poem. And I am so frickin lucky to have found you. Your limitless awesome traits. You will always be beautiful, forever. And talented!

Hey honey. Thank you!! November can’t come soon enough.
I tried to sleep but I couldn’t so here I am. Hopefully I will tonight
I’ll call you in a bit. Need my coffee time with you!!

I love this comment!!! You make me feel so beautiful:)

i can just imagine you, looking at the picture… your delicate fingers dancing on the piano…n owww woow

Hi Dimpy! I’m so happy to see you here.
Thank you for the comment:). That is me, my son took it and then I embellished everything else.
I have no idea how to play it but in my mind I’m a pro. Haha

I’m glad you enjoyed!

You’re on a tear lately, Rob. Which is good for us as your audience!
You sir are truly a poet. Even if you scoff at such titles. LOL.
I love where this write took me, in my own visuals. just enough detail to create a scene, for us to be bystanders to with our own eyes in our brains.

And there was me lamenting where have all the DU gone? And in the space of a weekend, your good self, Mark and Gary appear and life seems a little bit normal again. I stay away from spiders these days. I can’t tell you how much I wish the best for you and Styx. Welsh Rob

Perfect timing. I was in a friends OLD basement and saw three spiders to the right of the door that opens to the backyard. Creepy things for sure – and kind of big.

And as for women, I’ve met one too many who were there to spin their web. To catch their prey. But through my cleverness and acts of evasion I eluded them. But oh, what I could have had. :))))))

Nice one, Adel.

Are you talking about my evil twin? She escaped? This is so good, and the way you wrapped it up with ” You know you want her to, was perfect.

It’s about time you posted something! I’m tired of everyone asking me where are you!
LOL. So pick up your own slack!
And here you are, finally! I sense the halloween theme that this seems to coincide with. And for the record, you’ve dressed a bit venomous before…I am so wrapped up.
Awesome visuals that you crafted within this clever write. Your artwork is equally impressive, but we must wait til ? For those.
So lovely to see you here my love!

Lol, spiders aren’t really my thing, but I’m glad to see your writes again, anyways 🌼

Hey Joe!!
This is an older one. Thought I’d try and post something. It’s been a while.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment amigo:)

Spiders at not my thing either. I appreciate from really far away!! In case that little guy decides to jump.
Then I’ll squash him like a cucaracha!! lol

Later gator!

Beautifully penned, Adel. Incredible imagery my friend and an excellent write. Appreciate you.
