Missing the Whales
Ryan and I couldn’t get into
Kingsbrae Gardens. We were too early. After looking at and reading a bit about
pirates, I thought it would be nice to offset and gain balance from seeing some
flowers and llamas that the garden provides. As mentioned before, pirates were
a gruesome bunch. And that’s the way Hollywood used to portray them. When I was
a kid, pirates were scum and clowns made you happy. Today, pirates are
romanticized and clowns are evil. I don’t get it.
With Kingsbrae’s gates closed, we
decided to walk along the oceanfront. On the way a smiling resident with a
beard (neater than a pirate’s) came out on his veranda to say, “I saw your
documentary, ‘The Walking Monk.’ Welcome to town.”
Shortly after that, a woman in a
smart car, on her way to Fredericton, pulled over. “Excuse me, but I was
curious. Is something spiritual going on in town? I could really use it now. I
am in grievance.” So, we spoke.
A portion of our day was occupied
with whale watching. My good friend Rob has this business, so the four of our
troupe donned these massive space-type suits to embark on a journey over the
Bay of Fundy. Actually, it’s too early for whales, but during this
ultra-relaxing plying over the water, we got close to eagles, seals, and
lighthouses. Nice!
To complete a great day, we
logged-in to our regular Thursday Gita Chat (open to all) to discuss Chapter
12, where Krishna outlines what pleases Him in the manner of how we behave. Check
out the latter verses. We had a whale of a time.
May the Source be with you!
