Milton, Ontario
The
Start of Another One
Rajasuya, Ananta, young Gopal and I headed
down the Bruce Trail, just a short 5 kilometre stretch of this long 840 km
footpath, the oldest of its kind in Canada.
I guess you could say it’s an official start of another walk, one that I
plan to tackle in spurts, by way of day walks.

In any event, off we went to the area of
Lake Kelso, which, at the start by Old Bell School Line, was naturally adorned
with red sumac. We were greeted by a
host of birds seeming to have a party.
These Canada geese made for a landing at a fish habitat, and at the base
of a cliff along the Niagara escarpment. A frog, a snake, a squirrel, chipmunk
and blue jays were also about to give us some companionship outside of our own
inner circle.
Oh, and there were enough of those mountain
bikers—seems to be a guy thing—who whizzed by, always with a verbal “Hi!” while
they were getting ‘high’ on their adrenalin rush. No doubt this trail has its ups and downs,
rocky in places while roots of maples, oaks, and more are exposed, giving
hiccups to a cyclist and less-so to a walker.
In fact, this kind of path is the best; not
regular in its texture, not flat but bumpy.
You can’t get better than this.
There are look-out spots that offer awesome vistas. It’s like being in a kind of heaven, really.
Oh Krishna, thanks for this day, for these
companions and a most exhilarating place to be.
May the Source be with you!
