The Robin and the Book
Nowadays when you wake up in the
morning it is not uncommon to hear one of the sweetest song birds around. Even
at 4 am (my general time to roll out of bed) I am greeted by the optimistic
feathered friend in the form of the common robin. This most prominent of spring
birds flies from tree to tree but also takes quality time on grass or soil,
bobbing along, looking for breakfast. This welcoming red-breasted creature is
well-equipped for yanking out of the earth the juiciest of worms. I really just
wanted to put this guy under the spotlight because, for me, this creature
really does, like many birds, bring joy to my life.
One more thing I wanted to bring
to the readers’ attention is the launch of the book “The Saffron Path,” written
by me, the Walking Monk, which in some respects is the translation of my name,
Bhaktimarga Swami. The book is a compilation of walking experiences in the US,
Canada, Ireland, Israel, Guyana, Trinidad, Fiji, and Mauritius.
I hope the contents will be
pleasing to the reader. I have incorporated the element of adventure,
introspection, pilgrimage, and the marathon mood. For me, a highlight is the
interaction with people. Lots of pics.
The book is available with Amazon
and comes in paperback form and with kindle format soon to come. I want to
thank editors Abhidheya (Lynne Murray), Wade Wilson, and Nitai Priya (Jennifer
Layne) for the excellent editing. The book is selling on a good discount right
now.
May the Source be with you!
