Make Time to Walk
Now is not the time for me to make up excuses for lack of
walking. I flew from Houston
How do I use precious time in one of my days? To answer
that, I'll say that as an irregular pattern, when I stay grounded for a few
days in one location, it can look something like this:
3:30 am Rise
& shower
3:45 am Chant
on japa beads
4:30 am Chant
to guru and Krishna
7:00 am
Greeting of the deity
7:30 am Teach
from Bhagavatam (or be a student)
8:30 am Plan
travel, catch up on e-mails
9:30 am Catch
up on lost rest
10:30 am Shower &
more office work, counselling in person or on the phone
12:00 noon Gayatri mantra
and lunch
12:30 pm More of the
above plus cleaning, planning, working on drama scripts & productions,
dealing with people, may include public kirtan
6:00 pm
Dinner
6:30 pm Class
or walk for as long as I can, write, read, and sometimes drama practice
11:00 pm Rest
Now today, I caught Ravi
who frequents our temple and I asked him to be my walking partner for next to
an hour or so. What I admire about him is that although his residence is
1 1/2 kilometres from our temple ashram he walks there all the
time. He does not drive and will not buy a car. Transportation is
by city transit or by walking. He and I took to walking around the Annex
area. It made my day complete.
5 km
