Relaxer
It was a relaxer of a day for Hayagriva, Nanda, Umesh, and myself at the resort. I took advantage of the opportunity to catch up on reading, writing, and overseeing Hayagriva typing what I guess you could say are “reports” on my recent walk in the States. It’s always good to do this kind of inventory of thought; recalling what achievements were made on pilgrimage. It’s easy to forget the joys of it all, and the challenges. It’s necessary to write it all down and then share it with those who will benefit from it. Then it’s time for planning the next walk.
I did pull
out a map to look at what it means to tackle the road in May of next year. The
starting point at New York City , en route to San Francisco , should be
an exciting time. I’m anticipating it with adventure and therapy.
I also
received a strong recommendation from a Spanish monk of our order, Yadunandana
Swami, to explore the famous Camino de Santiago for the following year, in
2017. Perhaps I’ll cover a short distance of the long stretch.
My reasons
for the treks are multiple. One of the things that drives me is to get out,
meet people, and take some interest in their spiritual life. I was reminded of
how important this is.
At a buffet
at Memories resort, where we checked in six days before, I met this lady who
was eager to know. I believe she was Canadian.
“Oh! And
what do you represent? Is it Rajneesh?” she asked.
“No! It’s Hare
Krishna!”
“Oh yes! I
used to see you guys in India
all the time. My, you were so outgoing then.”
I believe
she was referring to the 70’s or 80’s. I would hope that we could still be
known for our extroversion and for our good deeds.
May the
Source be with you
