A Ganesh Altar from a Previous Year

This was my Ganesh altar (Ganesh Folder, 002v2) for Ganesh Chaturthi probably two years ago. This year's looks very similar. I will post a pic of it when all the gifts have been placed on it. (BTW, all those books aren't a part of the altar. I just use the end table beneath this small shelf, as available table top space is scarce in my rooms.) I have to admit I feel like Ganesh was with me today from the moment I stepped out of my front door. He kept doing what my prayer to Him requests: getting me out of my own way. For all the heat wave temp (which I don't usually have trouble with, but I was getting nauseous, fortunately I always have plenty of water), and having to cut my walk much shorter than I wanted, it was one of the nicest ones I've taken in ages. Many lovely conversations, one of them with someone I'd only seen around I.V. at a distance. I worked on a draft of a dream poem, and began working on another new poem in my head as I hobbled across the parking field toward home. Thank you, Ganesh, for being large and in charge! I use the expression quite deliberately. As the new poem is about not trying anymore to be less than I am because others can't handle it.
