Vishnu
the preserver, sleeper on the cosmic sea
waterVishnu dreams the universe from atop the coiled serpent of eternity; to dream of him is to trust that a vast and patient care holds the world together while you rest, and will not let it fall.
Fragments
Ten times he has stepped into the turning world when it faltered, wearing the shape of fish, boar, dwarf, and prince, and once more he is promised at the end of the age.
He floats upon Ananta, the endless serpent, adrift on the milk-white ocean between worlds, and from the lotus at his navel a new creation slowly opens its petals.
