Walking with the Spirit
There was not sufficient time to trek down to the creek this
morning. I asked some locals as to the creek’s name, but I met with the answer,
“Just a creek.”
“Okay!”
This morning’s walking allotment of time was shifted to
drama practice. The performance went very well; quite appreciated by all. The
lodge was the venue for our performance of “Krishna
Is…” The crowd became wet with tears. It was the two scenes of Krishna ’s interaction with His gopi friends and His
communication with schoolmate, Sudhama, which struck hearts.
With the lapse of time in the day I found I could
contemplate for the missing chance to trek a bit. Headed towards Moundsville
via the local McCreary’s Ridge
Road
“You don’t mind walking with a monk, do you?” I asked.
“No.”
“Bring the rest.” So they came. We had a great trek. It
ended up being more of an herbal walk, I would identify plants and explain
their medicinal properties. The group was quite surprised at the discovery of the
green opulence in their neighbourhood. As everyone knows, when you are an
adolescent, you may lack appreciation for your surroundings. As expressed by
one young woman I met in BC sometime back, about her hometown, “This place
sucks.” I was getting the feeling that that’s what these young folks were thinking
about their place of habitat. By the time we finished having a candid look at
the horticultural quality of the hills of West Virginia
Walking in the spirit of wonder, adventure and gratitude, is
like a walk through the spiritual world.
May the Source be with you!
