with Sri Ganesh

And act…

Aum.

- 27-05-11:

… The elder comes in, offers Rs. 10/- and attends the Aarti in silence and does his full pranams and leaves… … A man unknown to me came in late to do pranam and offered also Rs. 10/-.

You seem, Sri Ganesh, today To convey the sense Of affirming the presence That you stand for, Here,

In this place, In Auroville –

It is somewhat akin To an endorsement –

But it is concerned with Movements and forces Which are not visible, Nor do they obey The logic of our world –

Yet the beauty and the weight Of your harmony Are tangible, A concrete gift…

… It has been quite hot, and the sky is constantly shifting from a leaden, blinding gray, to a molten blue…

… The veterinary comes in all dressed-up, does his pranam and prayers and offers Rs. 10/- and goes on his way… And later, two young men and an older one, from some other, distant area, come in shyly to do pranam and offer Rs. 20/-.
