I Love Being Hindu

I am almost too excited to sleep Today Holi started The Festival of spring, the end of winter Celebrating the divine love of Radha Krishna Triumph of good over evil We will have a bonfire tonight Where we will pray that our internal evil is destroyed Like Holika the sister of the demon king Who was killed in fire I love the bonfire! I see her dancing to her death there Tomorrow morning is my favorite time of the festival. Rangwali Holi. Nothing like it! It is a free for all. Everyone is game! We can smear everybody with colors. We get out our water guns and water balloons. Musical groups sing and dance for us. Tomorrow night things will settle down. We will visit our family members and eat Holi delicacies. I love being Hindu!
