Durga

I was asked by my friend here on flickr Kay Harpa to try stepping into the shoes of Durga. Durga is the Vedic & Hindu diety of destruction, expeller of demons, removing obstacles. She is equivalent to Kali, Shakti and even Laximi. The force of Durga starts within and works itself outward as many things in life do. She cleans "house" people. I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea under this new moon. Here is my interpretation of Durga as seen and related by an American Taino Indian.
