with Sri Ganesh

In you, Her Chosen Guardian –

In the deepest peace Of the eternal forest, Agni silently glows At your crown, As you amble and pace In your gentle dance

Of reverence And profound Tenderness…

… In the afternoon, while I watered the garden and fought the nerve pain in my legs, Bitti came in to meditate a while near Sri Ganesh and offered fruit and Rs. 10/-

Sri Ganesh, The presence of the Lord In Matter Is a wine of tenderness In the cells, A raga of intimacy In the sap of the tree, It is the nourishment That travels and courses And runs Through every cell and fiber Of living matter, It is the ageless ringing Of eternity Silently growing In the stone, It is the mutual seeding

Of the stars, Sri Ganesh… O the deep rose blush Of Your embrace…
