Sussex, New Brunswick
Success in Sussex
It’s a cute little town of 4,000 and we’re told by the people who came for our bhaktitalk that tomorrow a balloon fest begins. We’re speaking about helium balloons that take passengers in the air. For a $200 charge you go up to heights where you’ve never been before.
“What do you see?” I asked one of the attendees at a downtown dance/work-out place.
“Great scenery—the hills, trees, rivers and creeks.” All this from a bird’s eye view. Sounds good.
In my talk, I tried to stay on the topic which was Achieving Happiness Through Family and Community; so from the perspective of a spiritual angle it is possible. Depending upon full mundane arrangements is fallible. “Keep a spiritual focus because the physical facility will ultimately fail you.”
Mary, the coordinator of the place, was someone we worked with last May. This time she was with her three kids and fantastic husband, from Iran. Jason and Nicole came from Shediac where there is this world-class ocean beach. Nakula (Nick) and Sarah came from St. John. Some local people from Sussex also came to hear, sing and dance—all community stuff and feeling good vibrations.
The drive back seemed lengthy—an hour and a half. It’s Canada. Distances are a reality.
Today I could not boast any stretch of walking, only two times around the block in the town of Sussex. It was something at least.
May the Source be with you!
