with Sri Ganesh

Sri Ganesh, One With the inner truth of material Nature, Firmly Established on its base, Anchoring your happy heart In the earth’s substance, You safeguard The very path of progress With your auspicious, Benign, Knowing figure –

Even though men have failed To maintain clean hearths And let the earth Be poisoned By their greed, You remain and preserve The way, For your loyalty Is To the Shakti’s Aim And process.

Aum.

Deepawali. Most people are at home celebrating, and there is much less traffic on the highway – there are even fleeting moments of near silence. … My physical condition doesn’t seem to be improving; rather the opposite in fact, as it is becoming more and more of an effort and an act of will to walk, one step at a time. And then, the intestinal tract remains in a precarious state of functioning; and then the eyesight is in more frequent crisis; etc. However every afternoon I do hard physical work in the garden of Sincerity, to preserve some confidence, and of course to honor he grace and beauty of Your Gift…!
