The joy of a coming child was laid to rest at the expected for being invited to enter His house.

I was ready for the invitation.

The Joy of a Happy Death

I have learned the dependency on life to live well is to live the last judgement today.  There is death and there is a life.  What is delivered is the JOY of DEATH!

The Romance of Man and Woman, Is this love?

Paperback Books, Alhambra Library, California

 As I recover from these proportions of insight on the BOND between Man and Woman, I hear and am supposing a conclusion to the FEMININE HEART and this is the decision to be loved by Man.  How is a woman loved by man?

As I rest from no rest at the Alhambra Library, I sit next to an isle of Paperback Books with images of Front Cover books of man and woman at a very serious point of reference of private moment.

What is privacy when it comes to LOVE between Man and Woman?

And when it comes to the PASSION of GOD towards MAN, shall we find this a moment of privacy, as well?

There are depictions of Love between God and Man, a FRIENDSHIP towards INTIMACY and ECSTASY!

I will find these images offering a CONDITION OF LOVE that the BOND comes from a CREATOR who LOVES the UNION of Man and Woman.

When is this UNION depicted with a formed good or a mortal act against God?

The Joy of Virgin, Female

Marriage and Virginity, Works of St Augustine

The Joy of Virgin is Marriage.  Marriage is Unity.  Marriage is a decision.  It is bestowed on Virgin as a Gift and is a serious dependency on Man to love Woman.
