Kali

I am drawn to Kali, for several reasons,
​and she informs the work I do.​
What does this mean exactly?
Kali may be as real to you as anything in life,
or she may just be interesting words on the screen.
​I want to tell you more about who she is, where she comes from,
​and what she means to others.

Kali, from my introduction to her, comes from Bengal in India.
She had a major influence on someone considered a saint in India,
during his lifetime in the 19th century. One of his followers came
to America to share of his teacher's words and understandings
​and was also influenced by Kali.

Kali creates, preserves, and destroys the universe,
each moment in time. She terrifies to liberate,
loves as a mother to welcome all, 
and gives birth to each thought
and idea, a goddess,
a god's power.

She encompasses all range
of spiritual understanding.

She appears and loves,
​and disappears
​
into mystery.

Kali empowers
through truth,
​cutting away
​
delusion.

She is,
liberates.

Kali
​loves
​
​all.
