Shiva and Kaali

I have been planning to get a tattoo of Shiva and Kaali done for quite sometime now.

I just love what they represent metaphorically. Kaali, is the feminine word for eternal time. Kaal, is the masculine word for the same. Shiva, in his meditative state represents the universe in it's primal, passive and subconscious state. Kali dancing on him represents the dance of time eternal. Both of them together basically represent the dance of time on the passive state of the universe.

Also, what a lucky gal she is. To have Shiva as her man. Shiva, who is there for her when she is at her best, and when she is at her worst. Shiva, who is the epitome of acceptance when she is angry, erratic and uncontrollable. His unconditional love calms her down. He has understood her at her core, and supports her, come what may. She is totally free when she is with him. He is the one she comes home to.

That kind of love is every mere mortal gal's dream. May every Kali of this mortal world find her Shiva.
