Hastings, Ontario
It was Not…
It was not the ideal weather for a stroll. Cold pellets of rain descended upon our
vehicle as we made our way to the farm near Hastings. It’s at times like these when I don’t mind
the shelter of a vehicle—this one being the van owned by Savyasacin. I felt comfortable with his driving as
well. What a skill it is to operate a
machine with ease and to do so safely in bad weather.
Our destination was the farm outside of
Hastings. The proprietors, Fil and
Sukayanti, and their sixteen-month-old daughters, were our hosts. Tasty veggie balls soaked in a seasoned, home-grown
tomato sauce, dripping over whole wheat pasta was what we were greeted with,
alongsside a supremely flavourful peppered salad. Thanks, you two!
Fil and Suk are orthodox in their way of
life, including how they deal with food.
It is, through the process of tender operations, offered to
Krishna. The food is powered by mantra.
It’s then called prasadam.
The couple also has a sweet way with their
twin daughters. Their cow herd of
thirteen also receives loving treatment.
Savyasacin and I put alfalfa nuggets on the animal’s tongues. It is slightly awkward for the bovine to just
grab them with a lick. You must make
contact with their teeth. Then they can swallow.
On such a miserable day, in terms of
weather, all becomes pleasant with good food, good people and good pets. Such lovely events lift a tough day to better
heights.
It was a day to be grateful for in spite of
the gloominess of the sky. And, I did
some walking anyway.
May the Source be with you!
