Vancouver, British
Columbia
By the Fraser
Walking took shape
along the Fraser, again; this time with some of the people from last night's
program. Yes, we were set in nature and
spontaneously the trail allows you to gawk at, pick at, and speak about the
green friends around us. It was bushes
and trees that stood still, that so generously permitted our admiration.
I pulled off of one
tree something that resembled and unripe apple.
Anirudha sampled it and became our taste tester for this, and other
curiosities along the way. You should
have seen his sour face after his teeth dug into the apple-look-alike. It was the free form of the walnut-to-be.
I also pulled off
some salmon berries, for Anirudha and other dare devils to try. Nothing sour there. There were also wild cherries on the trail--
another delight. Then I pointed to the
burdock and horse tail plants, both incredible cleansers known to help the kidneys
and bladder. In reality the stroll
turned into an herbal walk, which put an extra shine to our picnic of less-wild
food preps that we laid out on Indian mattresses.
One fellow, Tony, a
massage therapist from Chicago, who recently did some work on my legs, told me,
"People don't sing in America."
He was implying that life is complete when you sit and sing. He also implied that, in order to overcome
depression, you should sit down and sing with others.
Our group took to
Tony's prescription. We sang mantras by the Fraser, after all the
tasting.
May the Source be
with you!
