Blue Healing

Over the last 2+ decades, I have been beset by a variety of chronic medical issues that have resisted my doctors’ best attempts at diagnosis and effective treatment. These conditions simply have become part of my life’s journey.  It often has been easy to feel overwhelmed and hopeless by my situation. But amidst all the pain and confusion, there is always a twinkle of possibility for healing and recovery, as represented by the tiny bits of crystalline blue peeking through the ruin.   In both religious and art history, the color cerulean blue has been used to represent the Virgin Mary.
