Havana, Cuba
Through the Arts
Our apartment is relatively close to the ocean and to the Malecon. From the ocean's edge, the sky is clear, revealing a very clean sliver for the moon. The pole star is above. Interesting! Yesterday's sky showed the star to be below the moon. Indeed there is much to see above us.
Just ninety miles north of us is Key West, Florida, but we can't see that. Our senses are imperfect, so limited. We can only perceive to the best of our ability. This inability to perceive well is so evident while walking the streets of Havana. Sidewalks are quite broken up. You must watch every step.
Jiva Goswami Das from Miami popped in today. He caught the tail-end of our presentation at "Vivarta Teatro." We had parting words for those we won't see for a whole year. Jiva and I trekked to our apartment and on the way bumped into tourists, two young couples from Punjab, India. I asked how they liked Cuba and the one spokesperson simply said, "It's much like India: lots of chaos but a happy chaos."
I met another young tourist from India, from Chennai near the President Hotel, where everyone goes for WiFi connections. Again, this guy confirmed how he liked the country.
After having taught kirtan standards, music lessons, and dance expressions to our friends of Krishna in Cuba, Ananda, Prana and I concluded that through the arts a great potential lives in Cuba for a change in consciousness.
May the Source be with you!
