A statuette of Durga,
alluring goddess of
divine destruction
and new creation,
in her sky blue and
cloudy white robes,
on a shelf above the
swirling gray smoke of
a burning unfiltered
cigarette in the
sunny orange ashtray
on the kitchen table-
top the color of the
churning stormy sea.

Each of these elements, colors, images a symbol well placed and a meaning hidden. They all form a whole of destruction and creation, life and death and its resurrection. Very well crafted brilliantly organized a fave
What a great morning image, especially the cigarette in the ashtray we all grew up with.
