Intention

Please, Aditi, make my mother well, I cannot live without her.

Aditi, it will not rain. We are starving and if our crops don't grow.. Please help us.

No one says you'll answer our prayers but I need your help. Please, Aditi.


With the sun shining at her right, illuminating the tiny hut she resided, Aditi clasped her hands together as her disciples did. Their prayers mulled around her head, ripping at her heartstrings. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She could not help them all but she could help many.

As the rain clouds gathered to end a devastating drought, a strand of her hair whitened and slowly drifted to the floor; for every kindness came with a price.
