Winnipeg,
Manitoba
Meeting
His Words Again
Doug,
Daruka, and I took cautious steps on unofficial trails along the
Assiniboine River within the city limits of Winnipeg. The river
had taken its natural course of the spring season. Water levels
are fairly high but not too high for us to traverse. I would
imagine there are some of the oldest trees in the province where we
roamed - chunky and tall, often bent a bit.
Here
we were with water (the river); with silt, hard and soft (earth)
under our feet; with our giants, the trees representing fire; with
the river breeze blowing over (air) and with a space for comfort
(ether).
Nice
setup, Nature!
By
evening a sanga took place at 108 Chestnut Street.
Vrinda, our facilitator, and Malini were early. Others came
like Visvambhara and wife Daniel. Farida too. She gave me
a card quoting St Francis of Assisi - a well-known piece worth
sharing:
Lord,
make me an instrument of thy peace
Where
there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where
there is injury, pardon;
Where
there is doubt, faith;
Where
there is despair, hope;
Where
there is darkness, light;
And
where there is sadness, joy.
O
Divine Master
Grant
that I may not so much
Seek
to be consoled as to console;
To
be understood as to understand;
To
be loved as to love;
For
it is in giving that we receive,
It
is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And
it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
May
the Source be with you!
