jaeraeth and ganesh in the coin machine

[Guest guest]

When the owner of my local laundr-O-mat was cleaning out his coin

machine, he opened the front of it, and there on the inside was a

beautiful sticker of Ganesh. It was circular and the colors were

bright yellows, pinks, reds and blues. He was seated. It was not long

after this that I began my trek across the country where Ganesh

followed--or led?--me all the way. Now he is simply all-present. No

ifs and or buts. I cannot turn my head away from universe or who it

exists in. Funny, as a Christian I was taught the same thing about

Jesus, that the universe subsits in him. Also, I was taught that God

was so near us, in love with us, that he heard our cry, even if we

were in any spiritual dimension. I began to realize he that hears the

sounds of the world is all-compassionate. Ganesh, Jesus,

Avalokitesvara all point to this unnamable mystery. O.K. I promise I

won't start preaching now.

 

Peace be with you and blessings, Bill

 

for the record my favorite band is The Cure and I like Smashing

Pumpkins too, which reminds me Summer's End is almost upon us.
