HOLI MOLI!

Spring is here! We celebrated the Hindu holiday Holi at the Hare Krishna temple in Spanish fork. The temple looks like a mini Taj Mahal. "Holi is a time when man and nature alike throw off the gloom of winter and rejoice in the colors and liveliness of spring. Holi celebrates spring, commemorates various events in Hindu mythology and is time of disregarding social norms and indulging in general merrymaking." There were thousands of people at this festival throwing handfuls of brightly colored powder at each other. When the signal was sent, everyone opened up their bags and started hucking! There was so much dust in the air i thought i would suffocate, but i kept on throwin! This is one of the most amazing things i have ever seen...my whole body was covered in colors-- even my insides are coated. I still have festive snot. I have officially thrown off the gloom of winter and am ready to live with color!!!
