“I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die. I am jealous of the portrait you have painted of me. Why should it keep what I must lose? Every moment that passes takes something from me and gives something to it. Oh, if it were only the other way! If the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now! Why did you paint it? It will mock me some day—mock me horribly!”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
There are fences all around Tulsa's new park, the Gathering Place. Makes it difficult. The fence is obscured in 'Overexposed' by the shallow dof. Here, I tried to make it look like maybe I was at the beach by excluding everything but this one small patch of fence and flowers.

The story behind a festival
Maa Kali is the fearful and ferocious form of the mother goddess Durga. In the text she is depicted as having born from the brow of Goddess Durga during one of her battles with the evil forces. As the legend goes, in the battle, Kali was so much involved in the killing spree that she got carried away and began destroying everything in sight. To stop her, Lord Shiva, her consort, threw himself under her feet. Shocked at this sight, Kali stuck out her tongue in astonishment, and put an end to her homicidal rampage. Hence the common image of Kali shows her in her typical mood, standing with one foot on Shiva's chest, with her enormous tongue stuck out.
Kali Puja is done to diminish the ego and all negative tendencies that hinder spiritual progress and material prosperity. Performed on the night of Kartik Amavasya (In Biengali), which falls in October/November, Kali Puja is an intense invocation to the fearsome goddess. The main purpose of the puja is to seek the help of the goddess in destroying evil - both in the outside world and within us.
Introduction of the Festival
It was introduced in Bengal, India, during the 18th century, by King (Raja) Krishnachandra of Navadvipa. Kali Puja gained popularity in the 19th century, with Krishanachandra’s grandson Ishvarchandra and the Bengali elite; wealthy landowners began patronizing the festival on a grand scale. Along with Durga Puja, now - Kali Puja is the biggest goddess festival in Bengal.
Coincidence with Diwali- The largest festival of India.
Diwali is one of the largest and brightest festivals in India. The festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair.. Its celebration includes millions of lights shining on housetops, outside doors and windows, around temples and other buildings in the communities and countries where it is observed. The festival preparations and rituals typically extend over a five day period, but the main festival night of Diwali coincides with the darkest, new moon night of the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika( mid-October and mid-November), the very day Kalipuja Kalipuja is celebrated in the state of Bengal in India.
The Legend
The legend goes that long ago the demons, Shambhu and Nishambhu, disturbed the peace of Indra, the king of gods, and his empire (heaven). After extensive and endless battles, the gods lost all hope and the demons became stronger.
The gods took refuge in the Himalayas, the holy mountains, the home of Lord Shiva and Parvati. The shaken gods sought protection from Durga, the goddess of Shakti. Kali was born from Durga's forehead, created to save heaven and earth from the growing cruelty of the demons. Along with Dakini and Jogini, her two escorts, she set on her way to end the war and kill the devils.
There was chaos all around. After slaughtering the demons, Kali made a garland of their heads and wore it around her neck. In the bloodbath, she lost control and started killing anyone who came her way. The gods started running for their lives. The only source of protection seemed Lord Shiva, Durga's consort.
Seeing the endless slaughter, Shiva devised a plan to save the world. He lay down in the path of the rampaging Kali. When the goddess unknowingly stepped on him, she regained her senses. The well-known picture of Ma Kali, with her tongue hanging out, actually depicts the moment when she steps on the Lord and repents.
That momentous day is celebrated ever since. Kali, also called Shyama Kali, is the first of the 10 avatars (incarnations) of Durga. Kali Puja is performed essentially to seek protection against drought and war, for general happiness, health, wealth, peace, and conscience. It is a tantrik puja and performed only at midnight on Amavasya (new moon night) in November. (www.diwalifestival.org/kali-puja.html and Wikipedia).

Needed time to clear my mind
Breathe the free air find some peace there
I used to keep my heart in jail
But the choice was love or fear of pain and
I...
Chose...
Love...
Cause everything is energy and energy is you and me...
Light shines in through an open window
Shines inside your heart and soul and
Light will guide your way through time
And love will help you heal your mind and
Life...
Will...
Be..
Cause everything is energy and energy is you and me...
Tonight a storm brews restless
It makes me feel uptight
I try to sing a peaceful song
But I just can’t seem to get it right
Oh let this darkness be removed
And cast into the sea
Of myself I do nothing
So I call the Warrior in me
Too many times I try it alone
And fall down deep in despair
And yet I know in each moment
You are always there
You lead me everywhere
Tonight I ask for a new song
From that kingdom deep within
I ask in that Holy Name
Creator of Everything
You lift this heart to sing
And then the darkness is removed
And cast into the sea
Of myself I do nothing
You are the Music in me

Years ago, when my Lover left this world, this song came out of my desire to win the war with grief and know that I would feel happy again in my life. Lately I’ve picked up the guitar and started singing this one again and discovered how much my understanding of my relationship with the Universe has shifted. By meditating on the Four Proclamations , by continuously seeking new ways to express daily discoveries of unity and by playing with music and digital art, the sweetest revelations come one by one. This joy spills over into my day-to-day life and continues to lead me onward in such profound ways.
Nearly a disaster this morning.
I switched on the hall light and 'POP' the bulb blows and it trips the safety switch and everything goes black.
So I fumble around looking for a torch. But couldn't locate it. Its black.
So I grab my house keys which have a little LED light on the keyring and use that to go downstairs and out of the door into the communal landing. In just my underpants.
*CLICK* - the door shuts behind me.
Thank god I didn't find the torch.
Lesson learned. Never leave the confines of your apartment without housekeys. EVER!!
