Roadside and Bus-stop Shrines

There are shrines to the Virgin of Guadelupe everywhere in Mexico City. The thing I like is that they are attached to bus stops and lit with the bus-stop electricity. In "Under The Tuscan Sun" the author says that Mary is like everyone's favorite Aunt. I go one further. She is mother to motherless and comforter to those who need it. I am not the most religious person, but I do love the reassurance of her unchanging and beautiful image.

Some higher force has definitely made it possible for all this to happen. I am grateful and am proud to be part of a good and loving universe.
