She said nothing

The sunflower has long been a symbol of devotion, resilience, and courage. Admired for its unwavering orientation towards the sun, it has come to represent optimism, purpose, and steadfastness. Yet the same light that nurtures can also overwhelm.

Nature rarely speaks in absolutes. Perhaps the lesson is not to turn away from what gives us life, but to recognise that growth asks us to embrace both nourishment and vulnerability.

Devotion

I sing to you

The song I have learned

The mantra that saw many generations

Words in Your praise

I sing in devotion.

I sing to you

Today the song that I feel deep within

Never heard before phrases but a mantra,

Words thanking you and meant only for You

I sing in devotion.

I sing to the Goddess of knowledge.

*On the occasion of Vijaydashmi festival. In the Southern state of India, Kerala, Vijaydasmi is considered an auspicious day for initiation of learning.
