The Universe in His Mouth
Every mother holds something far larger than she can understand. The right answer to that mystery is not fear — it is open arms.
Inside her arms was the entire universe — and the universe was breathing the way every baby breathes.
In the village of Gokul, there was a small house with a small kitchen, and in that small kitchen there was a tall clay pot of fresh butter. The butter shone like the inside of a moon.
The pot belonged to Yashoda, the mother of Krishna.
