Heavenly Holi
The Full Moon festival of Holi celebrates the vitality of spring, and the blessings of Lord Krishna.
Ah, Mother India! Beauty, beauty everywhere, created by showering each other with vibrant color. Children, tourists, merchants, priests, and mothers. No one, but no one is immune from the paint pummeling and powder play.
(Book excerpt from: The Adventures of Bindi Girl: Diving Deep Into the Heart of India by Erin Reese. Available on Amazon Kindle and Paperback).
"...we fell seamlessly into the ruckus, playing full-out with huge smiles in our hearts. We hooted and hollered, laughingly layering color after color on each other and anyone that moved. Even the village goats and month-old kittens were plastered with paint.
The kids giggled, clapped, ogled and laughed along with my songs, gifting me with gallons of warm fuzzies.
This is why I lug my instrument around!
Such moments, such smiles, are what I came to India for.
Moments of pure, unbridled self-expression,
And shared, Shakti-filled joy!
Moments of pure, unbridled self-expression,
And shared, Shakti-filled joy!
