Russian icon depicting the Mother of the God of the Sign. Look at the figure of Jesus here. Black. “The iconography known as the ‘Mother of God of the Sign’ has its origins in the earliest Christian depictions in the Catacombs, inspired by the pagan iconography of the Orante, where she is presented as a half-length figure with her arms raised and her hands open with palms upwards, a symbol of prayer and adoration, approaching two cherubs with outstretched wings.”
Good Lord, I am strong.
You created me that way.
I didn’t know I was,
But learn more every day.
I guess that is the point.
I know I should be grateful.
There’s only need to love.
No need to be hateful.
For what are You but Love?
Incarnate but Divine.
Everything is Yours
And none of this is mine.
In the Lotus Sutra it is said: ‘One has to experience difficulties and suffering in order to develop wisdom.’
