Ganesha
for you I pray now,
without the pretension of knowing
what is the best for me
in this new period of my life,
without anxieties about
what is to come
and released from the bounds
of projections or any expectations,
I beg you to carry my life on your back
and open the doors of perception,
knowledge and understanding
All I need to have wide open
to make the universal goodness true
here and now
I trust my body, my mind, my heart
and my soul
to the purifying action of your trunk
Please, with your strength and wisdom
help me to guide my own energy
towards the best of myself
Please, allow me to be in the right place,
at the right moment
Once watched and protected by your blessed presence
I will feel confident and courageous enough
to face and go through any adversities
that may come up against my way
Under the light of your eyes
I want to learn how to distinguish
the best choices for me and for all,
which will lead me to the full empowerment
of my skills and abilities
No reservations neither fear
shall prevent me from striving for perfection,
the one shown by you
Please open this pathway
for me to acquire the tools needed
to enrich my experience of learning
through love
how to become a tuned instrument
in this life
Only you, holy elephant, Ganesha
can orient my steps along
such eternal and yet temporary journey
Be by my side now
because only under your guidance
I will be able to carry out the mission
which brought me to this precise moment
ready to begin.
