Port Coquitlam, B.C.
Along the Dyke
It was the first sunny bright day in weeks,
so a number of us took full advantage. We took to De Boville Slough, which has
a dyke running along to one side and then edges along Pitt River. Bears do
frequent the area.
We strolled for two-and-a-half kilometres
and then returned, making it a five kilometre stretch of glory-walk. We talk as
we walk, and sometimes get silly. It is a component of my daily reality to get
down to dealing with grave matters, but I have found it necessary for
equilibrium and sustainability to have light moments with others.
Self-isolation is torture and unfavorable for spiritual progression. Being with
others of like mindedness is a treasure. Part of my work.
One person recently asked me, on a Gita-study
Zoom call, how they might reciprocate and be of service or assistance to me
personally. My answer was, “I can be served a large thali, or plate of prasad,
but I’m truly more satisfied when someone makes the effort to share higher
(Krishna) consciousness with others.”
It is my experience that eating is not a
problem for me. There’s always plenty. As our guru’s guru, Bhaktisiddhanta,
used to say, there isn’t anything lacking in this world except for uplifting
consciousness.
May the Source be with you!
