I’m reading about Shakti. I found her by googling Hindu goddesses and looking for a face. I don’t know why, but a few months ago I found myself thinking about Kali. I knew her yoga pose and started doing it from time to time. I looked her up online, printed a photo, and kept her around. But now I feel like I need a new image. So, google, a face, and Shakti. Her colors feel right to me now.

Joseph Campbell talks about making mandalas to keep yourself centered, as a tool to help you find and visualize your center within the Universal wheel. I think I’ll try that. Maybe make a painting. For now, read more about Shakti.

I like the image above. I snagged it from some website. It makes me think about how chess orginated in India. Persians disagree – just check out the comments I got on this post. But look at Indian temple design? They really knew the game.
