Sherri's Day
We had just set ourselves up with mats on the grass when Sherri, who was shaded by the next tree over, recognized me.
"I know you," she said. "It's my birthday today." Lo and behold, Karuna and I sang the Happy Birthday song but with the insert of "Hare Krishna," and as we did so, instantly a healthy gust of wind showered hundreds of thousands of pink blossoms down upon her frame. The moment we stopped chanting, the blossoms desisted from falling down.
"How did you guys do that?" she expressed in awe over the magical occurrence.
"Mantras are powerful!" I said.
She concurred.
Now, with cannabis-smoking totally legal for the whole country, here at Bellevue Park, the heart of Kensington, so many people are ‘up in smoke’. This is now part of the package deal within a park experience. Stoned or not, people are attracted to our mantras and the sound of the drum. They join us with guitar, or just sit and sing. It is so sweet.
One father was training his young son how to skateboard on the sidewalk next to us, and with some success, helped confidence to be achieved. Near us was a guy on a didgeridoo, and almost everyone else was just lying on that grass that was recently blessed by a fine rain shower. Gregory came back to join us again, but at times he would break away and climb the maple as if a fast monkey, quick in action. Being that it was Sherri's day, we allowed her to harmonize the mantra while we were immersed in the thick of our own melodic way. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx2CT4sAMFZ/?igshid=1ezs3dadthk75
May the Source be with you!
