Coming to the Veggies
Brussels, Belgium
I have nothing glorious to report about walking on this day. I took turns with my companions: Doug, Dustin, and Max walking up and down Concourse B of the Brussels airport. Because we were in brief transit we did not get the chance to see the city nor have the chance to appreciate its highlights.
The country boasts about having some of the best chocolate items in the world. Well I generally don’t consume chocolate for the caffeine content. But I really, really am deeply in love with brussel sprouts if there is any connection between this city and the vegetable. Sprouts offered to Krishna are just about the most heavenly thing to eat. I would walk an extra mile for some. That is impossible to do today because of flying circumstances.
We are en-route to India which has its major diversity of vegetables. West Bengal, our destination, has some of the best greens in the world. Greens were a favourite of Sri Caitanya, whose birthplace we will visit. The preparation was called Shak. The general term is Bhaji. The food, mind, ego is a secondary reason for coming to India.
Our real fuel is the chanting.
