The kitchen, usually a place of quiet routine, vibrated with a sudden energy. Amelia's grandmother was joining the Hare Krishna movement. Amelia couldn’t stop herself from bouncing. She'd always loved the chant, the music, the vibrant colors associated with the faith.

A joyous warmth spread through her, chasing away any lingering weariness. Her hands felt restless, unable to stay still. She wanted to share the news with everyone.

"Grandma, this is so… cool! Are you going to be wearing the robes? Will you be chanting? Tell me everything! I want to come to the temple with you!"
