moon and sky

Grandmother traced ancient Tamil Brahmi letters onto my palm, her weathered fingers trembling with purpose. "Our ancestors wrote stories in these symbols," she whispered. I recorded her voice, uploading our conversation to the platform that finally valued our heritage. Comments flooded in—untold generations recognizing themselves in her words. People were freaking out, sharing their own family memories. It felt obvious somehow, that our culture deserved this space, this voice. The moon rose over our small town as she smiled, knowing her Tamil traditions would reach cousins across oceans. Our community was witnessing itself, remembering together, keeping our sky alive.
