Canada / Mumbai Skies
High Skies and Deep Waters
At one hour into the flight, I slid open the blind to the view through the window. I saw below us more of the same—snow. It must have been Greenland. I then slid closed the blind to contribute to the darkness of the plane's interior. Most passengers were fast asleep. I managed forty winks at times.
I relished reading. On my list were various articles from the "Back to Godhead" magazine, of which Vishaka's topic on boredom was really excellent. I also covered a few pages of Dr. David Habermon's Twelve Forests of Vrndavan. https://www.amazon.com/Journey-through-Twelve-Forests-Encounter/dp/0195084799 I also peered at the screen and watched the documentary, "Sharkwater." Toronto filmmaker Rob Stewart, champion conservationist, featured the deplorable devastation of sharks in earth's waters. What is touching is the last chapter called, "The Last Dive," where the author, in his exploratory deep dive, doesn't come up. He died from lack of oxygen. His heroism arose from exposing the corrupt industry of shark fins used in Chinese delicacies. Making people aware of this shark tragedy was his mission. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Stewart_(filmmaker)
Connor and I arrived in Kolkata after switching planes in Mumbai from Air Canada to Jet Airways. Luckily Mumbai's expansive airport has these long corridors for walking, a relief from the long fourteen hour sitting session.
Oh, and there in Mumbai we spotted a couple also enroute to Mayapura. He's from France and she's from Russia. Nearing Kolkata, on the final flight of the day, we met Jan from Germany. People are warming up to the power of kirtanin that special place called Mayapur.
May the Source be with you!
