Blake

To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. William Blake, from "Auguries of Innocence"

Indian Bevo

Dear Daughter,
Remember Bevo from Austin? Indian has a very special bull named Nandi. He is the bull who carries Shiva, the dancing God that Papa told you about. At the temple where people go to pay their devotion to Shiva, there is also a statue of Nandi because they feel that it is necessary to see Nandi before they see the sculptures of Shiva inside the temple.



Here is Nandi from Madurai. He has been painted very beautifully, hasn't he?

Love, Papa
