Alachua, Florida
God Knows!
God
knows that I want to put in a little time on a pedometer every day.
Frankly I’m not using one but perhaps I should start. If walking long
corridors like I did today in Atlanta’s Airport (a stopover) then a
device would show some distance on foot. At this point I’m reluctant to
count such steps as adding to collective walking for the day. Generally I
like to count what I do outside because it is more the full experience.
Since
that is the case I can register no kilometres or miles for that matter.
I can only think, or dream, of having put on the distance. Being up in
the air twice today in order to to reach Gainesville Airport lends
itself to dreaming. You are above the the clouds.
Ananta
Sesa and Vaishnavi, my hosts in their home, gave only the best meal
starting with a salad of greens and sprouts. It would have been great to
have walked it off but in truth I’m not a fan for walking through
afternoon blazes, the heat of summer Florida.
Nighttime
was a preoccupation of in the home of my stay when godbrothers/sisters,
and perhaps two generations below came to chant, eat and talk. We
talked of our spiritual brother Brahmananda, who passed away yesterday
in India. In the 60’s he was the heart of Iskcon, the Hare Krishna
Movement. He was one of the first takers to the mission of our guru,
Srila Prabhupada, in New York where it all started fifty years ago. One
person in the room described him as a transcendental teddy bear. He was
large in his build and was soft in the heart. He will be missed.
May the Source be with you!
