Mary was so heart hungry that she risked being the gossip of the town by not being the socially acceptable hostess. Maybe the change in Mary scared Martha. Scared her because Martha felt she would lose Mary. Scared her because she felt Mary was going into dimensions she had not yet discovered. Some people are excited by it.
Some people are scared by it.
Some people hide from it, but change comes to all people regardless. Opening my heart and mind to changes is sometime as hard as prying open a locked door. If I let Him. Yes, May is a good month to sit on the porch swing and contemplate anything and everything and nothing all at once. I wish I could have seen the cocoons of my praying mantis open and witnessed the change of life.
