"Put on a gown that touches the ground
"Float on a river forever and ever" "
Pink Floyd
And why does Devi choose to cause a universe of befuddlement, a universe that includes gender confused along with all those other poor confused souls etc. The devotees of the Goddess say Leela, sanskrit for playful enjoyment. I love that concept. the religion of my fathers was one where we asked, why did God make us.... and were diligently drilled in the answer,
"God made us to show forth his goodness, and to share with us his everlasting happiness in heaven. " but actually in the day to day... it seemed more like a trial.. and the consequences of disappointing Him...well... they were sort of extreme.
So on the chinese menu of religion I choose one from column B... Leela.
It is just the loveliest idea. And I think if I can align my issues with the grand play MahaLeela
And what better way than a gown that touches the ground. It worked for Emily.
