Reena is the host of this Exploration Challenge. Reena says:
The prompt this week is a collage. Pick any one element of it (a picture or quote), or more and let the thoughts flow. The choice is yours.
I choose to write about statue in the collage, who I thought was Maa Durga but found out was Lord Shiva. Below is a photo of Maa Durga:
Maa Durga,
you listen intently
to my prayers
and sit as still
as your very statue.
You care to hear.
You raise your hand
and say:
Worry
no more
I got this.
You know
I am ready
willing
able
to take care
of all of
your worries
your pleas.
These things
have already
been handled
you just don’t
know it yet
rest easy in
this knowledge.

Lovely poem!
A correction – the statue shown is of Lord Shiva. Maa Durga is a female deity who appears atop a tiger. She is known for being strong, avenging humiliation. Lord Shiva is one of the Trinity – Brahma, the Creator, Vishnu- the Preserver and Shiva or Mahesh – the Destroyer. Together, they represent the evolutionary cycle.
The sentiments expressed would remain the same for any deity/God one worships.
Thanks for joining in!

Reena thank you very much for the correction. I thought that was a female figure and a tiger. I should have looked closer! I might add a photo of her under your prompt photo just to clarify.

Yes, I already had that image, from a post I wrote for OctWriPoMo with her in it, and I did some research at that time. Also, I took a dream analysis class at the library in the fall, and the teacher did a lot of education on myths/archetypes/world origins and that’s where I first learned of Maa Durga 🙂
