Pouring out Perfume John 12:1-8 Revisited

Or maybe it's all about commitment.  Maybe a year's worth of perfume is all Mary has.  Saved up for a whole lifetime - poured out in a moment.  A last farewell to a loved rabbi, teacher, miracle-worker - not yet seeing beyond the grave to the early-morning garden?  Was Mary one of the various Marys in the garden that Sunday morning?  Who knows - there were enough of them about.  But the sweetness of her commitment has hovered in the air over 2,000 years of hurt and scandal and failings.  She just gave what she had.  Go thou and do likewise.
