Byron, California

Days 2 Go
Frankly, we have a tough time finding good
walkable roads in northern California.
It’s a dangerous undertaking.
Marshall and I tackled Hwy 4 and in the dark. No shoulder and practically a steep slope
that falls into a ditch. I’ve complained
about it before. There are few alternatives. We try our best. I imagine it will get more restrictive as we
approach the Bay area.
We rushed to the park in Jackson for an
arranged meet, promoted highly through Facebook, and the newspaper. The overwhelming response by people in this
area, was quite typical. I will copy a
sample of one person’s letter after we conducted a chant and a talk which
included some of our conscious values.
“I attended your meet at Deitert Park in
Jackson, California on Saturday, September 9, 2017. I would like to thank you and your support
team for sharing your life and adventures with me. I found you and your life fascinating. Journey safely…”
We spoke about ethical things, spiritual
things and the message that Krishna told Arjuna, which is totally relevant to
today’s world in which an individual becomes despondent about obligational
duties.
The thirty or so folks who came were
nodding at my suggestion for a car-free day in America. Oh they were sweet.
One other sweet person I met yesterday was
a Filipino priest, Pastor Edwin, of the St. Mary’s Parish in Stockton. He knows about the Hare Krishna from his
homeland. It seems that Krishna is
known.
May the Source be with you!
