Burn Sage and Sweet Grass

I received from Marquis or North Ontario, a letter of a send-off nature for the kick-start of the coming journey across the US from New York to San Francisco. Likely, the trek will start on May the 10th or 11th of this year at Tompkins Square Park. It will be made official within the next few days. It will be a walk to commemorate 50 years of the Joy of Devotion. Our guru, Srila Prabhupada, came to America from India in ’65, and then registered the International Society for Krishna Consciousness a year later in New York City.

I’m seeking blessings from all the readers to make this hike a successful one. Doubts emerge from time to time. Please pray that my legs will hold out okay. As I trekked with a friend, Bala, today in a nearby park, I felt some strain on an ascending trail. So Marquis, a true friend from First Nations, and a walker himself, wrote:

“Enjoy your walk, and don’t party too much in New York!

Will definitely say a prayer and burn some sage and sweet-grass for you! Good luck, and may the universe look over and give good grace on this journey, as I’m sure it always is.

Sincerely,

Marquis.”

May the Source be with you!
