A quiet reading
In one Hindu vision of creation, Shiva names still awareness, Shakti the living power through which form begins to move.
I think of a child at dawn, eyes wide before the world has settled into names. Not pure beyond all difference, not carrying a truth adults have lost, but newly arrived to the work of becoming.
Breath enters. The body meets air. Warmth gathers like fire behind the gaze. A tear brings water. Small feet discover earth.
The elements become a poem for how one life takes shape: space, air, fire, water, ground. Not a map every tradition must share, but an ancient language held with reverence here.
From subtle to solid, from silence to cry, the child meets a world already divided into self and other. Still, moments of oneness return: in sleep, in wonder, in a hand held without fear.
Shiva and Shakti remain not as characters in a tale I own, but as sacred names for stillness and becoming, for consciousness and its dance.
The child does not prove the Divine. The child simply looks, and for one breath the world feels whole.
Take a moment before choosing what comes next.
“In one Hindu vision of creation,
Shiva names still awareness,
Shakti the living power
through which form begins to move.”
