Happy belated Holi everyone! Or,
for those of you who are extremely American, Happy Festival of Colors!
Saturday was a lovely spring day, with the smell of flowers
and brightly colored powders in the air.
That’s normal for spring, right?
The smell of powders in the air…?
Well, maybe not where you’re from, but in Utah it sure
is!
Olivia, Olivia’s sister, Matt, Nate and I all took the long pilgrimage
to the Hare Krishna temple in Spanish Fork.
Hundreds of others followed suit as we all dreamed of throwing powder in
each other’s faces to celebrate love, equality, Krishna, and of course
spring.
BUT
It’s all fun and games, until someone throws blue powder in
your mouth. Not that I would know or anything…
Despite the taste of aroma therapy chalk dust, and the fact
that you can’t breathe because you’re afraid someone’s going to throw powder in
your face right at that exact moment, it was an experience to remember. Moshing students, body surfing, live Krishna dub
step music … Everything you expect when you think of a Hindu spring festival.
All in all it was a day full of fun and Holi miracles!
