St. Jamestown/High Park, Toronto
Both Crowds Are Good
Many connections I made, just before the
disconnections of tomorrow when I will soar in the air, via Swoop Airlines.
Making that domestic flight will bring me to the city of Halifax. So, tying up
loose ends is what I’m talking about. With my phone as a constant communication
device, I’ll be staying in touch with regular comrades but for the most part I’ll
endeavor to “be here now” while being Atlantic way.
There will be plenty to do on the east
coast, where they’ve got me in queue for programs. Not too many monks come
around the Maritimes for delivering a dash of bhakti. Come to think of
it, monastics are hard to come by these days, even though the general public
are intrigued, and perhaps even mystified by men of the cloth.
I did, by the way, make an escape from
winding down to briefly attend an outdoor ecstatic dance event. It was at night
and one of our boys was DJing to genres of electronic sound. Shared headphones
aglow in the dark, in green, drew a crowd. I was not up for the dance but for
meeting nice folks; open-hearted. I did recognize some of them for having
visited the temple at times. Indeed, it’s here in High Park, amidst trees, that
openness abounds.
I often times find myself with the conservatives but here you are mingling with the liberals. Both crowds are good for me. Both demonstrate some spark from the soul. A monk’s presence consequently brings that out in people.
May the Source be with you!
