Rosedale, Toronto
The Card
At Robert Stanfield Airport
Halifax, I was sitting at Gate 14 waiting for my flight and chatting with
Sameer who is from the Ismaili community. He takes a prime interest in
education and is involved in the Waldorf school system. Anyway, we were
chatting and an excited young woman came towards us. Sameer and I were both
masked and so was she. In an energetic tone of voice, she spoke. “Excuse me,
but are you the Walking Monk?”
“I’m a sitting one for the
moment, but yes. I am the one who also walks,” I said. The confirmation excited
her even more.
“I follow you (virtually) all the
time.” In certain terms I expressed that I hope the following inspires and she
confirmed that indeed it does. As usual in such cases I offer a person a mantra
card hoping they will take full advantage of reciting the mantra. which
has some kind of healing and magical effect on the taker.
I had offered one to Sameer
earlier on as a way to leave my contact info, which is on the flip side. There
you have an image of myself walking a mystical trail in Mauritius, next to a
mango tree infested by fruit bats. In general, I find the cards are effective.
For the evening, I went for a
walk, through Rosedale. Of course, the big thing on my mind is the disturbing
political dynamic in Ukraine. I spoke with Achuta Priya, our leader in Ukraine.
The curfew is on. Citizens are given arms. Guns shots are heard in the
atmosphere. “It’s going to be a mess.”
May the Source be with you!
