Destruction, Rebirth

Indians have an interesting way of looking at the end of things. Kali is a goddess of destruction and time, but also of change.

The new begins with the destruction of the old. Every loss is an opportunity. Nothing lasts forever except Kali herself. Her name holds multiple meanings: Black, Death, Time - Beyond Time.

It is interesting that it is completely understood and accepted here that nothing, absolutely nothing, lasts forever except Kali herself. Even other gods and goddesses are born anew from her like bubbles from the sea.

Lamenting the passing of things is an exercise in folly. All things pass. Yet there are two sides of every coin. Things must end for new things to arise. With every sunset, there is assuredly a new dawn.

But first, night.
