Quiet

but not so lost.

And still finding fine words that wrap the word up neatly in their many meanings.

Svaha

• In sanskrit "svaha" is said at the end of many mantras, meaning, "so be it."
  
• Svaha is also a Hindu goddess who presides over burnt offerings.
• And in Icelandic svaha is the duration of time between lightning and thunder.

I love how we, humans, connect one utterance, how the meaning winds its way around the world.

Svaha.
