Slyvan Lake, Alberta
By and After the Lake
Getting into Lake water for a dip
and swim is always good for the joints in addition to loosening muscles. The
combination of sand and water is great as a cleanser and aids in ridding
oneself of dead skin on the feet. I was really looking forward to the plunge in
Slyvan Lake, a new body of water for me. Some locals were saying this location
is a summer’s crammed nightmare, but now, with taxpayers money being wisely
spent, a great facility of flat lain trees, picnic shelters and decent parking,
lots has changed the dynamics.
It was our anticipation to have
families group together at this beach, have a fantastic meal and then go for
the ultimate water fun. Weather was perfect. We were about to board, but
waiting by two hours didn’t dampen spirits. It simply tested patience. Some of
our happy campers lost their way. One car load was stopped for speeding. What
to do? Once we came together and unrolled all the planned pleasure all the
bland waiting was forgotten.
And when food and swim was
completed the families and I sat down for a serious talk on future ISKCON Red
Deer operations. We came up with ideas for Sunday school, sacred sound, sacred
wisdom and sacred food to be centrally delivered in Red Deer (population
103,000) a half-hour away. “Let’s go for it,” was the mood.
A follow-up meeting took place in
the evening after a chanting session as the same group went for reinforcing the
concept on getting organized. This felt good.
May the Source be with you!
