Summit Hwy 181, Utah
Getting to the Top
It was a bit of a climb
by roadway. Some sweat and strain took
me to the top of the 9,110 foot
elevation. Truckers know the power
needed to reach that part of the passageway.
It’s a crawl for them.
I wish I had the
agility of the bouncing deer I see here; the speed of the antelope, the
strength of the beef cattle and the friskiness of the chipmunks around.
Chipmunks! Despite the use of leg muscles not used as
often for going up and now coming down, I prefer to remain the chipper monk.
I met Curtis, a
Mormon. He was the only person who
stopped to talk. He offered water and
also The Book of Mormon to tuck under
my arm. I suggested he meet my two monk
assistants two miles down, or so. I also
suggested he could receive from them one of our Krishna conscious books.
“The Mormons and the
Krishnas have got a good relationship.
We have two vibrant centres in both Salt Lake City and Spanish Fork.”
He mentioned he would
try to connect.
It was Jennifer of
Radio Channel X94, a pop music station, who interviewed me today. I was introduced as a Hare Krishna monk. I was happy to hear she has a copy of the Bhagavad-gita at home. She’s also likely to have the book of the
Latter Day Saints which Curtis has, and now I do, as well.
I believe it’s good to
share. “Why the big walls between the
groups? Really!”
May the Source be with
you!
