"You are the only one this far north that has ever come here," remarked an elderly person in Cochrane. She was referring to a monk coming to her town. She was one of many people that I spoke with about raising consciousness. One very well built young man was assembling a bicycle in his garage when I walked by his home. We talked. He daily does meditation in his backyard but now he has the mantra for meditation, which relieves maximum stress and brings optimum joy. A tourist couple from Norway came to know of greater consciousness. Just a vast array of people from different backgrounds took an interest in what we were doing.
All members of our party, Yovany, Doug, and let's not forget Billie the parrot, were networking with people in their own way at the library, the laundromat, the park and the highway. As a result of one of these interactions the Cochrane Library now has a Bhagavad Gita As it Is, which the locals can now check out.
Nora, of the Cochrane Times, found our philosophy and tradition to be very similar to native culture. I couldn't disagree with her on that.
