But I love how you used the viel in Veiled Rose, and in Moonblood. And I like your version of the wedding veil symbol much better than the general one. :)Eszternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-82334841804400190422012-03-23T08:01:28.353-04:002012-03-23T08:01:28.353-04:00Anne, that was a truly magical post.

I had never understood the symbolism of veils before.<br /><br />Your post brought to mind 1 Cor 13:12, the "for now we see in a mirror, darkly" verse. Specifically, it made me think of Paul's metaphor for vision, and how we shall know and understand more later. :)<br /><br />Also, I love those wedding pictures!!Rachel6https://www.blogger.com/profile/15138745237488029817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-50825177508989562812012-03-22T14:17:12.713-04:002012-03-22T14:17:12.713-04:00That encouraged me so much Anne Elisabeth!

I sometimes get very frustrated when I'm having to write a research paper instead of the book that's forming itself in my mind:) Although... my mother might get more frustrated than me when I give her my finished paper and it ends up to be more of a story than a "research paper"! Btw, your wedding dress and veil were so gorgeous!Claranoreply@blogger.com
