In his portly, paunchy stature, I see acceptance of the God-given
and a disregard for shape
In his broken tusk, acceptance of incompleteness
In his large ears and small eyes, the imperfection of our senses
In the legend of him circumambulating his parents, I see the knowledge
that the world and the universe can be as large or small as you want for them to be
In the mouse, his vehicle, the importance of the seemingly insignificant
In the modak* he relishes, the sweetness of all things
In his invocation at new beginnings, a universal invitation to good fortune
In his annual installation and immersion, the cyclicality of life
*Indian sweetmeat offered to Lord Ganesha
Oh wow! Loved this! Happy Ganesh Chaturthi, Kunal!
