We namaskar
and hands remember
that cleansing softness:
soles of our Mother's feet
untarnished by dusty roads.
Our foreheads rest on twin lotuses
past and future dissolve
into endless Self
where there is
no other.

Heart-shaped amphorae
have handles but no base.
These must always be carried.
When we namaskar
the heart is higher than the head
the pouring vessel fills.
( Considering the image of the Aquarian symbol of the Woman - the only human figure among the four fixed signs of the Zodiac- is the sign of evolved humanity. She carries the amphora from which she is pouring the Water of Life)
