+--------"Dignity; The Response Of Mary Magdalene To The Angels At Jesus' Empty Tomb 'Why Are You Weeping?'"

He alone understood my
soul’s tyranny…the dissimulation
about the life-scars, the pretenses
of being a woman, something
altogether different than
what I was; A vulture glaring
at its reflection in still lakes,
through mascara moonlit, sunken
eyes. I resented everyone, my heart
berating Rome, Caesar, Caiaphas,
Herod to no end, I was Antigone before
suicide seething at King Creon in
dreams. I preyed on sanity…peace I
knew not. I weep because He
was the first to look past the
prostitution without prevarication.
Come follow me, He said,
“You can be my friend.”  

------John 20:11-17
Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”). Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
