For Mom

I was reading a magizine in the hotel lobby when I came across an article titled Ganesha and his Mouse.
Ganesha is the Hindi Deity of obstacles and intelligence and the universal sound aum or om. He has an elephants head on a human body. All Hindi deities ride on a vahana, which translates to mount. Ganesha's mount is the mouse which is found next to his right foot. Since a mouse has the ability to gnaw through almost any substance they are portrayed with Lord Ganesha. Ganesha is the remover of all obstacles. It is therefor a good omen to see a mouse scurrying around the house or garden. Next time dont scream

i"ll take this into consideration the next time i'm on top of the couch gasping for breath at the sight or thought of mice(s).
