All His Mercy
My last festival here was in 2019
and now that I’m back at the same service of giving class, leading the chant
and directing a drama, it almost seems like I have not missed a beat. The last
item is the biggest but happiest challenge.
First of all, there is a language
barrier. I know little Spanish. So, how does one direct a play written in
English to a Spanish-speaking group? Getting the script translated was
accomplished, but, as most people know, intent can be lost in translation. A
lot of the work for me is establishing the proper mood for each character and
the interaction between several on the stage.
As usual, I am left to surrender
to this and other projects and when all seems hopeless, even in terms of where
to get volunteer actors. Krishna comes through with His magic. He really does!
By the end of the practice, the end of the day, He jells all of the fragmented
pieces together.
I’m beginning to build more faith
in such circumstances. In all honesty, He has always been good to me. And when
I was in the line-up at the Toronto Airport, I received a call from my doctor’s
clinic.
“We tested your blood and you’re
doing okay!”
That was relief to hear. Even if
the tests prove that I’m having some physical issues, I still believe that the
responsibility lies with me to improve myself in health if I can.
It is all His mercy.
May the Source be with you!
