Kaara Hunnime: A Lesson in Gratitude
Today is kaara humnime..the full moon for sowing season.
Each year, as the monsoon descends and the earth becomes tender, we step into the season of sowing. But before we touch the soil, we pause. On Kaara Hunnime, we honor the oxen and bulls — the quiet custodians of our land.
Decorated with colors, garlands, and bells, they walk in joyful processions, as if aware of their sacred part in this cycle. In their eyes is a silent wisdom, teaching us humility, patience, and gratitude.
The festival is not merely a tradition; it is a gentle reminder that life flourishes when all beings are respected and celebrated.
