Victoria, British Columbia
About That
My host, Adosha, took me on foot to Swan
Lake to circle it. It’s
more like the size of a pond, but it was pleasant to be by nature. A second
stroll for the day was down a piece of the Trans Canada Trail, which is a foot
path that is 17,000 km long. Here we allotted only 4 km at best. It was some
panoramic scenery worth remembering. Just a little bit north of Victoria, we took to the
trail where you find a former wooden trestle railway bridge. En route we saw
some cute signage on someone’s adjoining property that read: ‘No trespassing.
My dog’s got a gun, and he hasn’t taken his medication.’
This is cougar/bear/elk country. The type of place I consider a gorgeous chunk
of Canadian landscape. It was actually my brother Paul and his good wife,
Joyce, who brought me here to show me this incredible landscape. The scent of
coniferous trees is a pervasive feature of the area. Outside of seeing a heron
with his wide wing span, we saw no other aspect of wildlife, but that’s
alright, who needs to tangle with a bear or a cougar right now?
There’s a program we needed to conduct tonight and it was held at Adosha’s
place in the Victoria
area. It had been a struggle to keep a continuous sangha going in Victoria for some time
now. Perhaps we were given another chance to initiate a regular program for
establishing a higher consciousness. I would say that our discussions were
inspirational and they centered around the value of the human body, which at
least I identified as having two purposes:
1) The human body is meant for walking.
2) It is
meant for spirituality.
May the Source be with you!
