Sweet Visits
Sweet visits were to homes of devotees in White Rock and Port Coquitlam. Casual in spirit, we spoke about everything from the latest bear who came around the backyard to sniff, to Mr. Trump. Lord Krishna got in there to a certain extent. Perhaps service to Krishna arose as the central point of the talk because everything does revolve around acting for Him in our lives.
In that regard, Chapter 9 comes to mind from the Gita. “Whatever one does should be an offering to the Supreme.”
The various meetings and homes, I sat in, were of people who have high levels of commitment to calmness and communication. Abhidheya asked, “How was it in the States where you were walking last year?”
“Good people, good response, cultural issues, drugs, homelessness, a little bit of this and of that.” Then I expressed to Bhavani, Arlen and Saci Priya that between the two countries, Canada and the U.S., people are quite similar. “Canadians—a little quieter, though.”
I’m grateful to have been on that trek. The message which got out was that a walking culture will cause a calming of things. It’s a green statement.
I managed to get some steps in with Peter and Eileen by the Hop-Along Farm district. There’s this beautiful, flat, black soil. Our group of three walkers admired the fields and the fantastic blackberry vines that are so pervasive, but their yield is sweet to the taste.
May the Source be with you!
