Buenos Aires, Argentina
Back to Buenos After Covid
A very kind-hearted Markandeya
was at arrivals to pick up my check-in, my carry-on and myself. The airport at
Buenos Aires has very much improved with its renovations. I got through the
customs with a cinch. On the freeway, I could see the usual tall hardwoods and,
with it being spring, good fragrances are in the air. Colours too. The
purple-flowering jacaranda is stunning. There’s also the very red santa
rita, which gives life just by looking at it. However, in man’s world of
duality there is always an evil to cancel or neutralize the good. The traffic
exhaust leaves much to be desired, though there is a pleasant 70⁰ Fahrenheit,
as the Delta Airline American pilot put it over the PA system.
I was greeted by a happy kirtan
party, located at Ciudad de La Paz 394, in Buenos Aires. Improvements have been
made there as well, with a new tiled temple floor and an overall cleaner look
to the building; a former private school. Some things don’t change and those
are the items that give stability. For instance, the robins sing this time of
year. And people of a stalwart nature – that are dependable – make it welcome.
Merudevi, the Ratha Yatra festival coordinator, was there and that’s
comforting. She is like a deity; always there.
Our group of theatrical people
got together. I had a light lunch with asparagus (it’s in season), an
avocado-and-lettuce salad and an easy, cheesy bread. That’s the way I like it.
It’s like being on the road, eating healthy.
A small band of us took to
walking to Lagos (lake) de Ragata, near the heart of Buenos Aires. I had a fall
(The street concrete is uneven). However, I sprang back into action right away.
May the Source be with you!
