Weddings and Walkings
A wedding on Wednesday? It seems
odd but it did happen on this very day. The bride’s dad had invited me months
ago. He recalls how I last saw her, the bride, when she was six months.
Abhiramy Was just a toddler then but is now thirty. She certainly doesn’t
remember the occasion, which is understandable. Her new husband is Ricardo,
Mexican born; nice guy. The priest who conducted the vivaha-yajna,
marriage ceremony, asked him to smile but, from what I saw, Ricardo carried the
biggest smile since he arrived on what’s usually a white horse by Vedic royal
standards.
“I came in a horse powered
white horse,” said Ricardo, again with a smile. Ricardo’s folks were happy. So
were Abhiramy’s parents. Her dad, Shati and I go way back to when he first
arrived from Sri Lanka.
All went well with tying the
knot. Then I paid a visit to Jivanuga (Jim Johnson) at the hospital’s rehab.
This great hero suffered from an assault on the street which severely did
damage to his skull and threatened his brain. Major surgery was done and with
successful results. His recovery was quick.
Yes, fatalities, mishaps and
accidents occur all the time. In fact, one of the couples attending the
morning’s wedding asked for blessings because they were victims of a bad auto
accident. Doesn’t it happen enough!? They are going through ongoing pain.
It was a second couple that came
across the banquet hall to learn about my marathons and the safe way to travel.
To them, and to the many folks I met, I offered my advice to get off one’s
behind and walk as much as possible.
May the Source be with you!
