Wasaga, Ontario
Water All Around
Wasaga Beach claims to be the longest unguarded beach in the
world. No lifeguards. Isn't that something? It was said that at one time, maybe still
today (although the sign we read didn't say that) it was classified as the
longest beach on a freshwater body.
That's a great claim.
It was Krsnadasa, my dear Godbrother, and Billy and I who
dipped into these waters at Georgian Bay.
Last year at this time, I was in Ukraine, and as a treat took ten
minutes to, literally, test the waters with some colleagues. The jellyfish
were in abundance. Frankly they
were intimidating—very—but here in the fresh water at Wasaga—no sweat.
Now we did not come north to this town just for sense
gratification. It had been a long day of
travel and bhakti business talks and the submerge was a reward. Both in Wasaga and later, in Innisfil, which
is situated in the Holland Marsh area, Billy and I made important connections
with yoga teachers and others, in planning to insert some glory into the dark
era of Kali. Yes, we've got plans.
By the way, Innisfil is located at the southern edge of
another fair-sized body of water, Lake Simcoe.
As I remarked to Billy, who hails from the States, "Well, what do
you think? All this power of water in
all directions, including Lake Ontario to the south. No shortage of H2O. I hope we can keep it that way.”
As Billy and I drove back to the city, I expressed my
satisfaction with our day trip. Though I
got no walking in whatsoever, we did have a dip, and did have a chip (or two)
to keep our bodies stimulated. We are
anticipating a day for the Goddess, Radha, tomorrow. It's her birthday.
May the Source be with you!
