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!
