"Musubi is the old way of calling the local guardian god. This word has profound meaning. Typing thread is Musubi. Connecting people is Musubi. The flow of time is Musubi. These are all the god's power. So the braided cords that we make are the god's art and represent the flow of time itself. They converge and take shape. They twist, tangle, sometimes unravel, break, and then connect again. Musubi — knotting. That's time.
A translation and close reading of Laxmi Prasad Devkota's 1940s Nepali poem. Finding the divine in a marginalized woman, and what that indicts about hypocrisy, commodification, and who we call sacred.
A close reading of Haridevi Koirala's Teej song — tracing how a bride arrives with a house full of dowry gifts yet is still called empty-handed, and what that reveals about patriarchy across three generations of my own family in Nepal.
