St. Jamestown, Toronto
End of he Year
Now, as we wind down the year our little film crew is doing the finishing touches to our production “Rolling the Dice” for public viewing. Michaela Vaksan, our editor, will have it ready for January 1st. We already have the trailer out. Now our time is to be spent tightening up our production, which premiered during the MANtra retreat last month. It’s all quite exciting. I’m curious about the response and feedback.
It has now been my fourth walk to meet Michaela and Dhruva who live in the same neighborhood. Dhruva has been our sound person.
I bring them some prasadam in the form of some sweets and with our sincere meeting we plan and prepare, looking at what needs to be done for the future thespian projects. Covid-19 lockdowns leave little or no alternative to shooting all our theatrical productions, at least for the next little while, until we “reset.”
I don’t know how some people are handling this social and financial disaster of the virus. On top of the tragedies Covid is bringing, we also have our regular, natural pauses that life puts us through. In our Toronto community we are seeing a number of deaths as well as senior health-threats taking place among our congregants.
The lessons of life to be learned are expressed in our story, “Rolling the Dice.” It is about curbing greed, anger and lust. The final message of peace comes in the approach of surrender. That’s the lesson of Sri Krishna (who is implied in our production but not really seen). Krishna’s message is about letting go.
May the source be with you!
