Oh! Sweet Lord Ganesha!

Statue of Lord Ganesha at Crystal Castle, Mullumbimby, northern NSW.

Oh! Dearest sweet, sweet Lord Ganesha, Remover of Obstacles, Bringer of Good Fortune!

How, now so long ago it seems but only a few short years ago, I knelt down, alone, oh so alone, before the weight of black night and uncertain destiny; beneath the dripping disc of the Moon, wreathed by incense, lit by flickering candles red and white. And I prayed.

Lord Ganesha, consort of Goddess, if it be thy will, let this woman in me blossom, be released, that I may live as her, live her all of my days, for better and for worse. And, this more, my Lord, teach me to love and to be loved.

And so it was; and so it is!

And I am Paula and now I am married to my true love, Alexx.

Blessed be.
