with Sri Ganesh

A traveling King Or a pilgrim Bard,

The ever joyful Form Of Her Call to Grow, You are ready, constantly, To hold a feast – Wherever you go you carry Within you The tools and the wealth To lay the luminous feast Of welcome –

Wherever one seeks Your coming, You may in an instant Turn the most inauspicious grounds Into A field of blessings, If only One is willing To trust and truly Give…

In the afternoon, while Parthy gets a large tattoo made, on his chest over his heart, of Your Symbol, I spend in the market for oils and camphor and incense and powders Rs. 955/-

… Yesterday when I went to the market I had a hard time of it: almost at once my legs were turned into wood… And still, up until now, I have not at all understood what the actual nature of this trouble is… … A fairly well-dressed fellow, a little trendy, perhaps a supervisor of the Highways, comes in respectfully to do his pranams, and offers Rs. 10/-

Sri Ganesh, you seem To be seated today In concentration, A festive Yogi,
