Nebraska/Wyoming
A New
State
“Dudes”
is a popular steak-house restaurant in Sidney. I didn’t know of the busy
clientele, until I conveniently sat on one of the provided benches in front of
the diner. The workers there were extra nice. Two waitresses came out and asked
me to sign the newspaper which featured Hayagriva and myself on the front page.
“Can
we make you a hamburger? It’s on the House.”
“Thank
you, but I’m a vegetarian.”
They
came back a minute later saying they could serve me a veggie burger which was
made out of black beans. I really appreciated them going out of their way to be
friendly, but I just had to decline. I was full of the delicious wraps the boys
had put together.
Kindness
is truly prevalent on some days. Experience shows that people I meet are
anywhere from indifferent to positive in their response to our walk.
The
above interaction with the “Dudes” staff was on Friday night. Today, however,
Sunday, showed more of an aloof reaction from motorists. Fortunately, we did
reach some milestones. I stepped into the state of Wyoming. We also took a
drive to the vibrant Denver community for the world popular ISKCON Sunday
feast. Lastly, Aaron, whom I met on Tuesday, decided to join our team.
Aaron
is a young man at an interesting juncture in his life. He’s giving the
spiritual approach to life a chance. The three of us, Hayagriva, Marshall and
myself, have accepted him Ike a younger brother (for me a son).
May
the Source be with you.
