The Transfoming Mind Of Ganesh

A Story by LE Berry

A story of re-birth and connection to others...

His life was one of carelessness, and in time it made him more than callous. He was a man like many men, bold in his proclamations and his thoughtless way.

His passing occurred when he was still young, and it is said that a god who was offended by his actions brought him to his untimely death; for we are all meant to reach an aged space in utter and complete harmlessness so the wisdom of creation can be held and kept within us.

Despite his destructive nature, Ganesh's mother pleaded for his return. The god, always impressed by the space which is love, granted her wish, and Ganesh was brought back from the dead, except, upon his return he was given the head of an elephant.

Many said that this fate of having to bare any of an animal upon you was a punishment and a curse. But in time Ganesh came to understand, it is far better to be wiser as an elephant than to remain an ignorant man.
