i bathed in sacred rivers, my toes dug into its muddy bed of clay and ashes of the twice-born, released from the chains that once held me down as i was burned in my own pyre. widows once jumped onto the fire of the burning corpses of their husbands, monks once set themselves aflame to protest against persecution, and i too am lit aflame in my own calm protest, dharma my fuel, nirvana my fire. |

 reports, 23h 51m agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on.
