Mississauga, Ontario
Baby
Blue
I went to visit Gelda’s residence. The
family runs a food business that supplies Walmart, some airlines, and other
outlets. Of particular interest to me is
their business supplies great alternative sugar substitutes, brown rice and a
line of other pro-health products.
“The demand is on,” said Mukesh Gelda, one
of the managers whose birthday happens to fall on mine, “People want to go more
organic and wholesome.” Sounds like food
fit for God.
While at his home, he brought me to his
altar where daily prayers take place. We
also looked outside the window to view the baby-blue vista—a fresh snowfall,
icicles and a bright clear sky to give pleasure to the mind.
It was really the only Christmas outing for
me today and that’s fine. I needed time
to write and to pace—it so happened that it had to be indoors, just one more
day.
I am truly drawn to the snow and the crisp
challenge of it. One call I received
from Saskatchewan was their forecast for tomorrow, -51°C. The one good thing about plummeting
temperatures is that it brings everyone close together. Body heat comes in handy at times.
As pointed out by Krsnadas, my good friend
whom I’ve spent much time traveling with as monks, “This Christmas Day is the
quietest day of the year.” He’s
right. Fewer cars. That is like heaven.
Could we have just one day without cars
except for emergencies? For Planet
Earth’s sake?
May the Source be with you!
