Dundas, Ontario

Let Nature Be

There is so much power contained within a forest.  Those of us who hit the Bruce Trail, once again, could feel it.  David, Jaya, Oksana, Pariksit, and myself started at Governor’s Road and were able to put in another seven kilometres, winding up at a gorgeous lookout overseeing a lush valley at the edge of the small city, Dundas.  The management of the Bruce Trail still have 32 percent of the trail to financially secure before developers’ greed could spoil a treasure forever.  The management is bent on protecting trees, valleys with creeks and gorges, areas of limestone cliffs, waterfalls, and a unique eco-system of plants and wildlife.  (By the way, deer are the first takers to the Apple trees.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B36bwqiAgZl/?igshid=11at2li6w07cg 

No one can really understand what I mean by the “power of the forest” until they walk through one, absorbing the shakti energies of such an envisionment.  Those whom we meet along the trail are there for perhaps the same reason we are there.  We take that energy and come out stronger than before we entered.  There is always a synergetic connection felt between pedestrians along the way—an openness.

Right at the end of the trail we met nature lovers, Rudy Fecteau, Margaret Ann, and Shannon. Rudy is an archaeologist and has a wealth of information in that field, as well as in child studies.  I would call these folks brahmanas,  meaning sensitive, wise, and broad-minded.  In fact, it was Margaret Ann who mentioned about the encroachment of buildings into the area.

May Krishna shield the glory of the trail from the greed of humans, and their often-times unscrupulous projects.  Let nature be.

May the Source be with you!
