with Sri Ganesh

This has been an extraordinary, unprecedented monsoon, and now the air is nippy and fresh, reminding of the winter in Brittany… In Europe several countries have been paralyzed by unseasonal snowfalls for days on end, while others have been flooded with formidable rains never experienced before… On my way here this morning, driving slowly, I remembered Your saying, Sweet Mother, that one could use the excavated soil from the foundation pit of the Matrimandir and its lake to build a hill North of it where one could then plant fir-trees, because “you see, in future there will be snow…”! And this in turn reminded me that Your vision of what must be and will be belongs to another time scale and your certitude is bound to be vindicated in time = in time there will be that Auroville, there will be that central Park of Unity, there will be that atmosphere and that new creation and it will be here – no matter what the present developments may be…

Sri Ganesh, You are Her

Watchful Knight Posted abroad –

You quietly wear Her generous colors And joyfully dispense A little of Her light

To the traveler Journeying on –

You stand there In vigil, So knowing and yet so free, And the sight of you

Fills the heart With trusting Contentment –

This is the nature Of your blessings…

Aum.
