Confusion Range, Utah
The
Police and Reporters
The highlights of my day were before and
after our mid-day meal at Gunnison Bend Reservoir. It was also before and after the mud bath
Hayagriva and I partook. As I may have mentioned
before, the two professions of people I spend most time with are reporters and
policemen.
First of all, Sheriff Curtis was making his
patrol in his set-of-wheels through the Reservoir when he noticed us at the
picnic shelter. Our boys were preparing kichari (rice, dahl and veg mix) with
some organic black cherry juice to use as a water replacement. We simply ran out of water and gave it a
try. During the cooking, Sheriff Curtis
came over and began a chat with us that lasted for a good three-quarters of an
hour. We dwelt on many things that we
share in common such as the pro-activeness of preventing crime versus the reactive
response to crime. I was happy to hear
that he goes to classes of young people on topics of morals, self-esteem and
such. He was great, and we left him with
a Bhagavad-gita. He looked at the cover
and pointed, asking, “This is Krishna?
And this is his warrior friend?”
“That’s right!”
Barbara Clerk from the ‘Millard County
Chronicle Progress’ arrived as I was putting some finishing touches to my
consumption of the kichari. She had a ton of questions—all good.
“What do you think of the U.S.
president?”
I suggested that, “I’m all for making
America great again. We just have to get
more spiritual,” was my general remark.
“Let us see ourselves as spirit souls and choose that.”
Incidentally, the black cherry-infused kichari was a smash hit.
May the Source be with you!
