St. John’s Newfoundland
To
the Atlantic Edge
It’s
a tight fit! I thought when we first saw Josh in
his Spider-man outfit, all prepared for a Halloween party that evening. He was our host for a presentation at the
Science Building at Memorial University and, being a nursing student, it’s
assumed he’s a caring soul. He also
mentioned his guru gave him the mantra, OM
NAMO BHAGAVATE VASUDEVAYA.
The attendance was a bit down from last
year, however, the folks who came were of quality. It’s great to see some younger people come
with questions. Stephen and Justin were
among them. And Miranda, seasoned, wise
and experienced, is the ultimate yoga teacher, and she is like a sister to me.
She happens to be the daughter of renowned artist, Gerald Squires, whose
studio we’re staying in. Gerald passed
away last year; bless his soul. Many of
his works are of religious themes. Good
stuff!
I said a number of things and talked about
the world of mass destruction and how walking for me, personally, has offered
spiritual solutions to mundane problems.
One item that resonated with this group of individuals who all have yoga
connections was, “It’s better to give, than just be.”
I was happy to be in Newfoundland, to
reunite with my marathon team, Hayagriva and Marshall. We plan a weekend of talks, walks and chants,
all of which began with tonight’s gathering.
One person wanted to know if I’d seen God on any of the walks; my frank
answer to that was, “Yes, through the conduit of nature, and people giving
their heart.”
May the Source be with you!
