Mantra
Om Tāre Tuttāre Ture Soha
Green Tara — the swift one, who arrives before you finish calling her name.
Shadow
Perpetual distance as safety — a press pass to every country, a home address to nowhere.
Gift
Pattern-sight — sees what locals have stopped being able to see.
Essence
The Pilgrim's Heart — moving toward, not away.
Between Place
The Hall of Planning — where, before incarnation, itineraries are made.
The Egg
Her egg waits in Hackney while she covers other people's homes; the dragon stirs the night she lowers the camera at the ghat.
Karmic Thread
Linked to Nadine — Druid priestess-astronomer at a 4th-c. BCE stone circle whose lineage was beaten down across successor lives.
Silenced Voice
Elders and the memory of the beyond — and the exhausted body taught to call its fatigue laziness.
