Treat of Treats
Okay! So wrapping up things prior to a flight—this time to Varadero, Cuba—can be fun. I make sure not to leave packing to the last minute because the avalanche of e-mails, phone calls and personal private needs from others is always an inevitable fact. "Attention! Attention!" is the subliminal mantra. So I tend to matters in the most time-snappy manner,, in those last three hours.
In some way, I can juggle last minute agendas better than long drawn-out meetings, even if they are of a spiritual nature. I am most alert when active, and most wasted when not.
To my good fortune, I have Prana Gauranga, a young monk from Montreal, to accompany me. He helps with Spanish/English translation, even though French is his first language. We will meet another monk, Yadunandan Swami, from Spain. We anticipate the company of eager devotees of Krishna in this special country. There will be a wedding in the woods, and an initiation of a young candidate, also in the woods (called the Finca) where beautiful organic veggies are grown by the devotees.
This is now a yearly trip, and the want for some sun rays is very much sought after, by a couple of Canuck monks. I'm particularly enthused about water (the ocean) before diving into the carbon-sooted streets of Havana. Yes, the traffic's exhaust is not the most welcome experience. However, it is the spark of interest in the hearts of our bhakti-yoga friends, that yearly is the treat of all treats.
May the Source be with you!
