Good Finds
What is really special about this time of year, almost anywhere in the northern hemisphere, is the lucky harvest. For instance, Marshall and I took one of those random trails in the area and we came upon the juiciest apple tree imaginable. From what we could see, this special tree of red, tart-and-sweet apples is overlooked by all cyclists, walkers and runners. However, not for us. No way! To ‘overlook’ was not an issue. For us it was ‘look over’ and then choose.
Remarkable was the fact that each apple we sampled, for a taste, was different from the other, although extracted from the same tree. That is not something you get when you purchase a bag of apples in the grocery store. Even the organics are disappointing. I'm sure you’ve had the experience. We felt very blessed on our walk today because of the great apples.
Other than this brief walk, I stayed indoors all day working on the book, The Walking Monk. The evening was different. Marshall, Samuel and I drove to the Breathing Space Yoga Studio with host Kelly. Twenty or so came. We were like a family, gathered together to tell of travel tales, chant, dance and eat prasadam. A fantastic time. Delicious, like finding the apple tree.
We are up for more exploration with mantrasand trails. By the way, most trails around here are lined with hundreds of chokecherry bushes. Prepare them the right way and they are suitable to offer to the Lord. Jahnavi from Regina knows how to prepare them.
May the Source be with you!
