Seeking Wisdom

A girl asks for chalk Monday, February 3, 2025 as she prepares to write on the wall of a temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, during a Hindu festival dedicated to Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of wisdom.

This morning I reintroduce you to Saraswati, the Vedic goddess of knowledge, music, art, wisdom, and nature. She represents the free flow of knowledge and consciousness that holds creative ideas and sparks innovation.

A framed image of Saraswati hangs above the dinner table in the great room at Merry Mount. The image captures the light in the room and reflects it back to the viewer. It is omnipresent, but changes with the shifting light. Perhaps Saraswati empowers the strong women that regularly inhabit this space at Merry Mount: Rett, Caroline, Jess, Kris, Julie, Joy, Eva, and Asa. And perhaps, the mortal males who catch a glimpse of her will also receive some wisdom, or creativity, or hopefully both.
