Lee Harris’ video 2013: Year of Community
The photo above was taken in the crypt of Saint Sarah, the Black Madonna in Maries de la Mer, France last September. I’m sitting on a set of three stone steps that lead up to the only tiny window offering any natural light to the chamber below. It lies next to the table of lit pilgrim candles, an ornate glass prayer box, and the beautifully adorned wooden carved statue of Sarah. She is dressed by the local gypsy women with fabrics in a myriad of rich colors and with beaded jewelry and shimmering tiara.
They visit her regularly, some even daily. She is the presence of the Divine to them. She is the Light they seek in this darkened place and in the darkened wood of her radiant face. I sought her blessings as well.
In this sacred place, I was blessed to have a profoundly moving experience and to have a small miracle that inspires me still. All in the quiet sanctuary of this sacred place where according to legend the three Mary’s arrived in France from the Holy Land ~ one of whom was Mary Magdalene. As a pilgrim myself, with all the others that day, I came. To abide in deep meditation and to lay my prayer beads upon the very heart of Sarah.
The prayer beads were ones shared at Unity by all the women who from the Magdalene Retreat. Each was long and filled with carefully selected beads and tokens of life. As a newby, mine had to be restrung three times which was frustrating but really blessed. Each time the pattern was more beautiful and more consciously created. Sounds a bit like how life goes. Mine simply had to go along into my suitcase for the France trip.
And so I came to St. Sarah bearing this token of prayer, life, and dedication. In quiet meditation I laid it upon her heart and asked for a blessing upon it to carry back into the world. While praying, I felt peace and love but no glowing lights or angelic chorus. I then felt called to sit in the soft light of the tiny window with my prayer beads.
As I held them, my heart almost stopped. The weight was usually quite heavy because of all the beads and tokens ~ a long strand of color, shape, and images. But suddenly there was no weight to them at all. They were almost light as air. I opened my eyes to see if the strand had broken, leaving scattered beads on the floor between us. In amazement, the realization dawned that all the beads were still as one. But they’d been blessed with a lightness of being. And so had I. Over the next hours, they regained their original feel but also still held that moment of lightness. They still do. The remembrance of this miracle is my gift to you in this holy moment ~ sent from my heart to yours.
It is this lightness of being that I offer you as the truest blessings from St. Sarah in the crypt of Maries de la Mer. Life gets so busy these days that it is easy to not slow down for sacred space. We forget the importance of Sabbath time as we complete all our “to do” lists. We take things far too seriously and our hearts get heavy. We forget to breath in slowly and deeply in body and spirit. We forget that even the darkest challenges and the densest burdens are lightened by the power of prayer and the wonder of presence. It is time for us to remember the Lightness that lies at the core of our Being . . . our inner crypt, the Secret Place of the Most High that enlightens all. The Scots say that angels can fly simply because they take thing so lightly. It’s time for us all to fly more often as well.
