Buenos Aires, Argentina

A Decision Made

I had no time to walk the streets today.  I arrived by plane and there was greeted by Markendaya, who drove me through an ocean of cars.  A warm homecoming took place in the form of kirtan, at Ciudad de la Paz 394, the Hare Krishna Centre.  This is one of my homes.

I realized I hadn’t much time to assemble the play of my choice, a play called “Many Mothers, Many Fathers.”  There’s not enough actors, or leading men and women, to carry a good show for the weekend’s “Chariot Festival.”

I sat down with our meagre crew and looked at options of three in number: No. 1- Work on the play that was planned, with high hopes that spontaneity would take its course and volunteers would come in at the last minute.  No. 2- Work on something the group has already performed, with some tweaking done from the director—that’s me.  Or we have No. 3- Start with something fresh.  New.  From scratch.  Something that is doable and practical.

I just finished writing an article for the official magazine of the Krishnas, the BTG, and it details the adventures of the U.S. walk I just completed.  Everyone was for that one.  It would be contemporary, have live music by Seva Kunj.  Yes!  That would be the decision.  So, we started practice and we’ll see how it evolves over the next two and a half days.  Show time is Sunday.

Wish us luck readers!

May the Source be with you!
