Kali-Tude: An Anusara Moment
Kali, one of the major goddesses in the yoga tradition, is the beginning of all things. She’s the goddess who takes it all in; the radical “yes” to life. Among other things, she governs time and change.
But she’s scary. Wearing a necklace of skulls, with fingernails dripping blood, she is black like the darkest night, the deep earth, the womb.
Kali is like the black hole that birthed the universe; the darkness before the supernova flares. If we have Kali-tude, then we are willing to delve into the darkest, nastiest places to make a beginning.
From any opaque uncertainty, sweet light eventually arises. As a dawn, a garden, or a new life. It’s the honeyed reward for affirming the goddess of time and change.
So bring it on. Cop a Kali-tude this week.
