Lalla .. was: Perceptions

[Guest guest]

Gloria Lee sent us:

 

For a moment I saw a beautiful moving river.

Then a vast water with no means of crossing it.

For a moment, I saw a bush full of opening buds.

Then no roses, no thorns, nothing.

For a moment I saw a busy cooking fire.

Then no hearth, no smoke, no flame.

I saw the great mother of kings, Kunti.

Then, the next moment, sitting here, is

the helpless old aunt of the potter's wife.

** Thank you Gloria. Lalla's works are intensely mystical &

outrageously beautiful. My 'middle' name, Lalita, is derived from

her name.
