Who sits on the Red Lotus flower?
“The Goddess of Wealth
…who sits on the Red Lotus flower
offers the fair flow of water,
…affluent shadow,
affluence of paddy harvest,
…name and fame,
huge prosperity,
…lots of wealth and property;
she also always offers longevity
…for those who are not deceptive and trickery!”
(V.K. Kanniappan translation from Tamil Nalvazhi)

”“What kind of house is this,” he said
“Where I have come to roam?”
“It’s not a house,” said Judas Priest
“It’s not a house . . . it’s a home””

Memories in the shower room
“She said, “Would you like to take a shower?
I’ll show you up to the door”
I said, “Oh, no! no!
I’ve been through this before”
I knew I had to split
But I didn’t know how …”

Let me stand next to your fire.”
