THE SECRETS OF ISHBAR

Inner Sarasvati

A river named Sarasvati
dried up four thousand years ago
in the plains of India
when the rubble of earthquakes
blocked its path. 

The priests took their chantings to another ford
and declared
that the old stream still flows underground. 

There is another Sarasvati
that flows through our minds
irrigating the inner landscape.
Will the faith and anger of the believers
dry up this river?
