Pilgrims’ Path Series (2001)
 

Varanasi to Sarnath
Old pilgrims’ path
Footsteps in time
Absence and presence
End and beginning.

Varuna finds Ganga
Debris, penance, prayer
Leaves, thoughts, twigs, feelings
Dust, memories.

Maps of mind
Lines on surfaces
Randomness is,
Within Order
Earth and water
Space, grace, unity
Clay, Ganga Ma

Fellow agnosic*
Come,
Walk with me.
