I, too, am saddened by the darkness and violence of the world. I pray for its redemption by the love of Christ, and yet sometimes I despair. Not even my corporal mortification can lift this dark mood sometimes. I want to hope, I so want to... I cling to my faith in God as the only thing I have left.
I will try, and I will pray. Though I fear for my own soul sometimes, with the violent thoughts in my head, and the love I feel for someone, a love I thought was pure, but I feel it is turning sinful in nature...

Happy Candlemas to you too!
I was too tired to write a real story, but I was told to update, so I did. :)
It does *kind of* have language and rhythm similar to that kind of Sumerian song- I tried to write it in that style anyway- because I thought it might be a kind of style Mary would be familiar with. It's very "Innana", yeah- the way I'm writing the events of her return are meant to echo that. Although the idea of a higher being coming down into this darker place is repeated in the NT, just with the gender changed, which I think is interesting.
