Whitehorse,
Yukon
Treasures
of the Day
I
had an excellent, hour long discussion with the Honourable Larry Bagnell,
Member of Parliament for the Yukon.
Along with Larry, who sipped on coffee with Ananda and Vaibhav (myself,
on apple juice) at the Westmark Hotel. I
asked him about the Canadian political structure and his role in it, and in
exchange he asked about Krishna Consciousness, our administration, and our
truth. “How old? Beliefs? Where does it come from?”
It
was really pleasant.
Food
has been good. Even though we are miles
away from anywhere—very remote—all the diversity you want for tongue and belly
seem to be here. At the Punjabi
household I’m staying at, it was aloo
paratha for lunch. I put greens in
the centre of this potato roti with my own salad dressing on top, mixed in avocado
and then rolled it like a wrap. Even
Anand, a traditionalist to the taste of Indian cuisine, enjoys my style of
pleasing hunger. That, and a special
energy drink assembled by local Sikh gentlemen filled my ‘tank’.
More
was to come in the form of speech output.
After being ‘tanked’, we had an engagement at the Canada Games Centre,
Room 2, for “Tales from Trails.” I left
ample time for questions, which did pour out.
People were keen to know of monastic life. My mention of suggesting that everyone in the
room become more of a monk (or nun) as we mature in our years, seemed to very
much resonate with them. The notion of
renunciation was becoming relevant.
May
the Source be with you!
