A jewel that invites us to view many facets of living.
Here is Jesus as the receiver of care and love,
and here is a woman of passion
and a sensual image and action.
a woman unacceptable in so many ways,
and yet the right one.
Here is the righteous condemnation,
the cry for justice and equality;
(in some ways quite reasonable.)
The moral bitterness, maybe jealousy?
But,
at the heart of it all.
Here is the God/man
who knows his vulnerability
and his mortality
and his need/desire for love.
and the power of the salve of tears.
(GJB)
