sorry, do you think mary ever cursed god for dooming her son?

sorry, do you think she ever cursed him for using her, young as she was, as nothing but a womb? do you think she ever cursed him for simultaneously implanting and stealing a life from her? do you think she thought "why him? why me?", do you think she held her son extra close, do you think she watched him grow, both of them knowing he was doomed to save humanity? do you think god heard her cries when jesus finally died? do you think her heart shattered just then, all at once, or do you think pieces of it were chipped away everytime she looked at jesus playing, working, sitting, walking, speaking? knowing too, that her other children would lose a part of themselves as well? knowing, too, that they would lose a life? that they would lose a brother?

sorry, do you think god regretted sending his son, mary's Son to the slaughter? when he saved isaac, was it penance for the future sacrifice of his own blood?

bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental
