The Elephant and the Ant
or
When Wisdom flows into Action

It is a musical tale along with poetry and prose, a conversation between Laxmi, the temple elephant for Ganesha, at Pondichcherry and Om, the ant.
After encountering initial anguish, they feel inspired to join forces to form an army of optimists for a new world.

Are you ready to join their army of optimism?
