Grace and Strength- A Poem on Durga Maa

A poem on what Maa Durga and diinity mean to me.

Grace and strength
That’s what they say embodies the divine feminine
Yet, I see it in all of us
Women and men and everyone else
For we are all part of divinity
As creating is divine
Making someone smile is divine
Leaving the world a truly factually better place
For those who have been oppressed
Is a true marker of strength
Surviving on difficult days
Breathing through the storms of life
Is a true marker of grace-
Covered in snot, though it maybe-
Living life is an act of strength and grace,
Whether we fight or survive or thrive
For everyday we make choices
That make someone smile
That make someone thrive
That make someone feel at ease with life.
