The gardenias are back. The center of today's garlands had them. The queen in days of old, the second ekadasi of each month sees that dress. She who made the jewelery for this outfit was here today to see them with it on. She has been away for about a year or more. When she saw it she was convinced that the Deities hadn't forgoten her.
Pedaling through the afternoon past the usual sufferers, geese and cyclists. Each one wearing their colors enjoying the longest day of the year. Both a celebration and a sad day. Sad because now the days will be shorter for the rest of the year.
Orange and green this evening. Giridhari's long coat doesn't flair or rise for anything. Gandharvika's sari also stays in line. Mahaprabhu's sheer chodder is narrow and also remains calm at his sides.
