Greetings peaceful readers, thanks for being here.
With Winterfest coming I thought I’d tell you about some of the traditions we’ve brought to Kusha from Harappa.
The Earthers didn’t think to highly of us Harappans when they first met us, but to get to know us is to get to love us. Ha ha.
The Earthers thought we Harappans were too involved with our intoxicants. We do like to party. The Founder was a heavy drinker and he made libation a large part of his paradigm. Hedonism is a major part of Harappan philosophy. We work hard and play hard. Life is short, make due with the limited time you have. Don’t spend your days and nights worrying about things you might have done or shouldn’t have done. Spend your time experiencing life. Find joy in new experiences. Explore new things, do lots.
So, Winterfest has become about re-exploring Harappan ways. Many folks feel that they are passing on our traditions to the next generation of Harappans, even if they live on Kusha.
Winterfest we drink more, eat more and smoke more. We sing more, dance more, laugh more and we play more. You can never have too much laughter.
So for today I leave you with an old Harappan proverb ( I am told that there is an Earthly counterpart in the Mahabharata but I learned this from my Grandmother who had never heard of Earth).
The fire never has too many logs,
The ocean never has too many rivers,
Death never has too many souls, and
A fair eyed woman never has too many men.
Never Mix red wine and Oodo.
