merciful goddess
such compassionate goodness
(womanly essence)
embodies your soul
melds eastern and western worlds
cherry blossoms rain
– Victoria C. Slotto
I find that Quan Yin, the goddess of compassion, mirrors the Virgin Mary in Western Culture. Both figures capture the essence of feminine beauty and loving kindness.
