Yesterday I was on the road in the thickest fog I’ve ever seen. It swallowed the street lamps. From the back seat I could see NOTHING. The only guidance was the headlights and hazard lights of cars coming the other way.
Maybe it’s the epic Ramayana I watched last night at the cinema, but it felt like a very literal reminder of Diwali: light over darkness. When you can’t see the way, follow the light and bit by bit you find your way.
People came out from their warm homes in their PJs, holding torches to help guide the traffic. Another reminder that when you can’t see the way, help can come from anywhere. Accept the help.
Back to the movie: it ends on a warning that Ravana is too powerful, with undefeated armies. It sounds hopeless for Rama, but we know help was on his path.
Trust that when you ask, it shall be given.
Hope you had a lovely Diwali 🪔💛🤍✨
P.S. If you could give wings to any animal and fly on it, which would you pick? 🐘 Mine’s Airavata, Indra’s celestial elephant: white, winged and adorned with gold.
P.P.S. Loving the Ramayana soundtrack.
