Raise your Hand If You Think That These Are By the Same Artist

I know I'm not the only one who thinks that the current news story about the family with the "Lost Pieta" behind the sofa is a lot of hogwash. If that painting is by Michelangelo, I'm La Gioconda.

Give me a break!

I just discovered your blog in a roundabout way via Facebook. I woman who "friended" me earlier today made reference to something you had posted on Fb which caused me to find you through her "friends" list which led me to your marvelous blog! I am also a blogger/writer, midwife, unschooling parent, "spiritually guided" and spiritual guide, actually; I'm also a recently graduated spiritual director with a practice focused on the "Contemplative Disciplines" especially for women and parents, those who are grieving and who work in social justice arenas/ministries. You can find my blog at closetotheroot.blogspot.com or by following me back by clicking my name! I'll very likely "Friend" you on FB as well; lovely writing and wonderfully serious and intentional thinking!
