Ajax, Ontario
Good
Crew, Good Brew
I was quite amazed by the turn-out of family
and supporters for Kiran, age twenty-four, who was recently deceased, the cause
being car collision related. Hundreds of
people came, mostly from the Guyanese community, to attend the last rites
ceremony, done Vedic style in a crematorium/funeral home in Ajax.
The love which emanated from parents, siblings
and friends was quite powerful. Upon
hearing the eulogy, I could understand he was quite the kind-hearted type and
you could see the reciprocation pouring out.
I wish I had known him better.
They are good souls who enter into the
course of your day to make your day. And
so, after the funeral, my world, for the rest of the day, was filled with
mostly the younger set, the cast and crew of our production of “Many Mothers, Many
Fathers.” A good crew. A good brew.
What a co-operative group it is, an international
one, consisting of Canadian born to Israeli, Ukrainian to Mexican and
Indian. The story, “Many Mothers, Many
Fathers,” is centered around a king—Chitraketu—of the Surasena dynasty who lost
his son to poisoning. Out of the tragedy
comes a reconciliation of jealous exchange and conflicting relations.
The young boy, Nimai, six, who plays the
dead son, is stunningly good at doing just that—playing dead.
I guess we all do that—play dead—for the
soul (the real me) does not perish.
May the Source be with you!
