His arms are around our world during this difficult time. What a wonderfully written story about the neverending fight between good and evil.
Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day and God bless.

Thank you for sharing your inspiration from the Holi celebration. I admired the vivid, parallel artwork and the implied moral about the commemoration of righteousness over evil. Best wishes in the contest- Joan

Thank you for your lovely response and for that vote. I'll be spending a little more time here - not much we can do outside the house.

We have a number of Nepali friends and have seen photos of the wonderful celebrations they have during Holi. We were there in January for a wedding. I enjoyed your flash fiction and didn't find any errors. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Susan Larson
"He surely supports us with His ubiquitous and invisible hands." This is so uplifting to read during this time and always. I had heard of Holi, but was not aware of custom. I believe it is uplifting and therapeutic to physically and symbolically destroy the evil in our lives.

This is an interesting custom that I was no aware of. I found this to be well written and informative. I'm all for good triumphing over evil and having faith in the Almighty. I guess that is one thing all religions have in common.

Comment from Ulla
Hi Raghuvir, this is an interesting and very informative flash fiction. I liked it. I also have never heard of Holi, although I've been to India many a time. (Due to work).
Just one thing if I may suggest, take care of too flowery words and too many adjectives especially ending on -ly.
I learnt something new, and good luck in the contest. Best wishes. Ulla:))

That was really interesting, and educational. I'd never heard of 'Holi' before. What a lovely start to the spring. A festival, bringing everyone together. Your author's notes were equally enlightening. Well done and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx
