with Sri Ganesh

… Dinesh comes in to have darshan, and he offers Rs. 100/-.

… In the afternoon I purchase in the market a new stock of incense, camphor, oils, and sandal wood powder, for Rs. 1,500/-.

Sri Ganesh, You appear today Very near and immediate =

The offering is very near, The sacrifice is very near, The splendor of the being is Rich and intimate, And as it winds and fuses And reaches out Through the garb of your ministry, It becomes a hold and a clasp Of exquisite tenderness –

A gift of the nectar In the Presence Of the Two in One, Of Whom You are, Densely gathered And wearing A braided song Of sunlight…

… A quiet fellow in his thirties, who has been coming several times and whose attitude seems very genuine, offers Rs. 10/-

… There has been a restless breeze lately, which sucks the moisture out of each leaf and blade…

… Parthy has offered, on the occasion of his and Viji’s wedding day, a cloth of blue and gold, which I have laid on Sri Ganesh’s left shoulder…
