KRISHNA JANMASHTAMI
“I remember how my mother would hold me.
I would look up at her sometimes and see her weep.
I understand now what was happening.
Love so strong a force it broke the cage,
and she disappeared from everything for a blessed moment.
All actions have evolved from the taste of flight;
the hope of freedom moves our cells and limbs.
Unable to live on the earth,
Mira ventured out alone in the sky –
I write of that journey of becoming as free as God.
Don’t forget love;
it will bring all the madness you need
to unfurl yourself across the universe.”
Mirabai (also known as Meera), 16th century devotee of Krishna
