Cornucopia
In the Mahabharata, the protagonist Dharmaputra
and his wife Kunti, driven out of their own land,
penniless and living in a forest, could host their numerous guests
(who had thrown their lot with them).
All that the royal couple did was to pray.
And the phenomenon is known as Akshaya patra,
The Indian synonym for cornucopia.
Once we (as a family) went
to a special restaurant
Run by persons to whom light and dark made no difference.
Pitch dark was the ambience.
We ate the meal with delight;
Thanked God, too, for the wonderful gift—of sight.
Let’s stay positive; miracles happen;
Cornucopia, then, may be a mindset.
