Toronto, Ontario
Mail / Walk / Lion
I received a card from the local post office located next to
“Whole Foods.” We finally figured out
how to receive mail. Make a box and set
it outside the door with a sign “Put post here!” It took some time for this genius idea to
surface. You see, our usual mailbox is inside our facility. Since lockdown postmen have not been able to
get in so my card indicated there is a parcel waiting for me and to go and
fetch it.
“Here’s a good reason to walk,” I thought. Sure enough, a parcel was waiting. How long for?
I don’t know. Sent from Creston,
Ohio, was a modest-size box with contents, shower gels—citrus and
cedarwood. This is the kindness of
sender, Kaustubha, from the Cleveland area.
It was only four years ago since I walked through the
Cleveland area on my U.S. walk, which was a super-adventure. Myself and small support team began regular
swimming in Lake Erie in the month of May.
Memories! I do get homesick
for the road. I remember going through
Amish territory. They are such a
down-home type of people.
Anyways! I got back
to the temple ashram for a shower after opening my personal care package from
Ohio and used that “Everyday Jack” gel.
Heaven it is. Now I’m poised for
the virtual fest to honour the lion avatar, Narasingha. Everyone in our devotional circle has been
talking about Him as He is the divine protector from the virus in the form of a
man, Hiranyaksipu, prime child abuser and violator of Vedic principles. It was a great fest with the presence of few
but we know the message got out.
May the Source be with you!
