Ma Durga

The henna is fading.

The sun is rising earlier.
I’ve been taking a lavender bath every night–
And barely sleeping.

I make line drawings with ink during the day–
Mandalas, repetitive patterns, and silly intuitive creatures.
And am being visited by frogs, turtles, and ducks in my dreams.

I breathe into my heart center
Imagining the space growing wider, brighter, larger.
Encompassing not just me and him–
But all life that exists.

I forgive.  I let go.  I surrender.

I do nothing and watch tv.

I’ve started practicing japa once again.

Ma Durga
Ma Durga
Ma Durga.
