Good Feelings
Toronto, Ontario
I received through snail mail a Happy Birthday card from my dentist and his associates today. It was a kind gesture. Today is not my birthday in fact this message of best wishes came almost a week in advance. In it you find a quote. Smiles are the language of Love.” It’s a quote from David Hare. I don’t know anything about the author but his name certainly sounds familiar. The reminders of birth are ever apparent. That also holds true for passing on.
A mother and daughter arranged for a small ceremony at the demise of a family member. I assumed the role as priest. It was not intended as a last rites ceremony but an acknowledgment and a way of sending well wishes to the soul. I led a worship of the guru, led a chant and spoke from the Gita. Sounds, smells, tastes, and words of wisdom become components of a peaceful closure for the family. They become content and I become content. It’s a glorious contagiousness.
That’s how Krishna Consciousness works.
