Moundsville, West Virginia
Back
in West Virginia
For the second day of fall, I find the
weather not bad. I have no network
available in these hills of West Virginia, but it feels like in the 80s
Fahrenheit. It’s humid, too. The evening will likely be substantially
cooler. We used to call these conditions
‘Indian Summer’, but I heard that is now politically incorrect to say. Is it true?
But just before reaching West Virginia at 12
Noon on the dot, our van pulled over in order that I could be part of a radio
interview over the phone. One and half
months ago I was on live and in the studio with Frank and Taylor on KUSA FM 100,
of AJB FM radio, and they had asked that I call them after my cross U.S. walk
was completed. It was merely a fun
follow-up.
So I called and Frank introduced me to
their listeners as the Walking Monk and told them how I had finished up the
mission. They asked for my comments and
I opened up by saying there is a tradition among Hare Krishna monks to travel
long distances on foot for inspirational purposes and then to share some
enlightenment.
At the end of the interview, I summed up by
saying that the spiritual component needs to be inserted in one’s life in order to increase it in richness and happiness. “In America we have everything, all
facilities,” and I ventured to say that our participation in spiritual practice
is weak.
The radio station is located in Price,
Utah, and I expressed over the air that most likely Utah was the state I liked the
most. Frank and Taylor were happy about
that.
May the Source be with you!
