Don't Shut Down My Feet
They can shut down the accessory stores, the banks, the
taverns, the offices and the factories, what of the schools, churches, mosques,
synagogues, temples, libraries, and only keep open the essential shops. But don't shut down the feet and legs. They are just too precious. We need to move around.
It was so encouraging to once again see so many people on
the walking trails, by the water and creek this time. Walking: it's so inestimable and beneficial—beyond
compare. Parents are attune to
that. Here at Evergreen Brickworks, moms
and dads have their kids off the leash, freely moving about. After all, who in the three worlds could
harness such youthful energy within the four walls of the house. It is March Break and students are off school
now, for several days, and perhaps some additional ones due to corona
virus. Giving them an open field, and in
this case, ponds and trails, is a treat.
When you hear one kid say to another, "Hey, look at
this!" (I was hearing it from a distance) you know that this is one of
those iconic mantras which identifies childhood. It hints at exploration, excitement and
adventure.
One more item I would like to share that came out of this
morning's Bhagavatam reading. The
passage is from the purport of Canto 10: Ch. 81, Text 13, and expresses that
God walks. According to Srila
Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura… “Sri Krsna accompanied Sudama on the road
for a short distance and finally parted with the brahmana after bowing
down to him and speaking some respectful words."
May the Source be with you!
