City Hall, Toronto
The Wind Sent Me
There are three ladies from the
city that have their birthday today- Saci, Sadhana and my sister, Connie. At
the least I offered to each of them a version of “Happy Birthday to you….” It
is a cute “Hare Krishna to you.”
Today was bright from that
perspective but also in another way. I had come down with a little cold but I
came up with an idea. I needed some vitamin D. I needed some sun and it was
there. Along with its presence was a warm wind from the west, hurling things in
the air. Clouds went one way. A plastic bag went up in a spin and even a covid
mask spun by.
The scene was beckoning me to get
out and about. I hit Yonge Street and kept going south till Queen St. From
there I went west, then north on Beverly, past the first Hare Krishna temple in
Toronto. I just kept going till I struck ten kilometres.
For a break I planted myself on a
park bench at Grange Park near the Henry Moore sculpture. There I met Hrithik,
a free-spirited young photographer who declared everything to be “beautiful.”
He surely was a bit on the wild side. He even acted as though the wind swept
him up and into flight.
He joined me walking as he was
enroute to a Ukraine Rally at St. Claire. The wind was with us too. It was
interesting to see a line of garbage bins thrown across George St. by the wind.
Traffic made its way around the almost perfect barricade. We saw our first
robin for the year; a sure sign of spring. It was a great walk.
May the source be with you!
