Come, Come,

whoever you are.

Wanderer and worshiper

Lovers of leaving

it doesn't matter

Ours is not a caravan of despair

come

Even if you have broken your vows  

a hundred times, 

                a thousand times

                               

Come, come again,come ~Rumi~

 

This shrine will be in the auction for the children of Oaxaca.

In a box, nails,copper tubing, wire and a fused glass heart  make a cross. Inside the virgin Guadalupe glows with metallic paint. There is diamond dust embossed at her feet. In the attic there are Marigolds,and a paper rose with leaves trailing down the  shrine.There is a  tin roof with nails,nuts and and bolts and rusted bits. On the back are the words of the Sufi poet Rumi.

Such a lovely nicho! I have long loved that poem by Rumi. The shrine wonderfully captures that hope. I love the fragile and beautifully breakable heart at the center of the cross with the virgin de Guadalupe behind
