Rochester / Hamilton / Milton
Fit In
Since a pre-planned retreat at a Seneca Reservation was cancelled out for this weekend, our creative and adjustment minds came into play. The visit to Rochester was not pre-meditated, nor the visit to see God-sibling, Visvakarma, in Hamilton, nor the Sunday afternoon stopover and presentation in our ISKCON Milton Centre. They were all last minute.
In Rochester we made one last walk in Linear Park along the Genesee River. The trail was a bit soggy due to the sudden gush of rain yesterday. You never will find a trail to be the same as a previous day. A trail is ever-changing.
Seeing Visvakarma at his home in Hamilton is always interesting. He had cooked a serious dahl and a light rice. It was much appreciated in addition to his entertaining company. Karuna, Connor and I managed to squeeze in a walk along the Rail Trail to assist in calorie burning.
The final visit of the day was in Milton at the Anglican Church in downtown where the basement provides space for weekly bhakti practices. I was happy to speak about the value of regulation in the course of one's life. "Regulation—discipline allows for a happy conquer. When you gain some control over the senses, then you gain—period. Chapter Six of the Gita is a good source for inspiring discipline."
The group in Milton was content with talk, kirtan and our engaging or indulging in the wraps they assembled for us. Many young families come to the regular programs. They manage to find that it's a good fit.
May the Source be with you!
