This week, I chose to read another version of the story of
Krishna, the reincarnation of Vishnu that we met in the Mahabharata.
I thought it might be fun to write part of this story from
the eyes of one of the villagers.
Constant struggle and destruction is brought to their village because of
the young Krishna, which results in the deaths of some of their children and
the destruction of their homes. Who
wouldn’t be frustrated and want to banish the family that hosts this child?
I’m hoping to try to work this week’s reading into my
storybook. I’m trying to think of a way
to use Krishna, but he seems so much stronger and independent than my other
characters so it may be a little more difficult to fit John into the
story. And possibly Charlotte. I
could also write about how Krishna and Rukmini became wed.
