University Ave., Toronto
A World Ever Changing
I needed to go to a stationary
store to purchase a day planner for the year 2023. The new year is just around
the corner. The local “Staples” store, which was a mere ten-minute walk from
our ashram, closed down. So, I was at a loss as to where to go to secure
my item of need and proceeded to see my friend, Ashok, at Print City. He would
know.
Ashok said, “Hare Krishna. Your
closest Staples is at the corner of Dundas and University.”
“That far? Nothing else nearby?”
He shook his head.
“What about the stationary place
called Grand and Toy?” I asked.
“They don’t exist anymore.”
“You mean they got bought up by
another company? A bigger fish swallowed the little fish?”
“Exactly. Dundas and University
is your best bet.” He confirmed.
I ventured on to that
destination. No problem. It was such a nice day. I needed to get some walking
in. And, as I did my trekking, I couldn’t help but think about the ever-changing
world we live in, that paper might go on the list of endangered species, maybe
even extinct. The world of alteration is very evident. With construction going
on – the erection of new buildings occurring on the very route that I was
taking – the ever-changing nature of things becomes so obvious. The skyline and
cityscape will not be the same.
Anyway, I bought my day planner
and got my introspective walking done.
May the Source be with you!
