Halifax, Nova Scotia
Halifax, Here I Am
Sanjay is from Nepal but he has
the look of an indigenous person from North America. It is simply an
observation. He has a humble disposition and he was willing to walk with me for
a short stretch in the Timberlea district where I’m staying, at the residence
of Angiras and Anchal. It is gorgeous with nature all around. This walk
constituted a second stroll for the day; the first one being along the harbour
at Dewolf Park, which is also appealing.
One of the main reasons for the
trip here was to visit Savyasacin whose wife, Shyamesvari is stricken with a
rare cancer. I’ve known her for 22 years. She hails from South Africa, and,
since I’ve been going to Durban to participate in their big Chariot Fest, I’ve
had the great opportunity to work with her and others from S.A. in the dramas.
She is indeed talented while also being a good devotee of Krishna.
My day was full with folks and
phone (Zoom Gita Chats). What was important was the chance to visit Shyamesvari
and her husband in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. A call came in at 2 am that
she had only a few hours, and so we rushed off to the emergency to meet her and
then her family, three young daughters and her mom. It was touching. Savyasacin
has been the most supportive hubby. So much love between all of them. I left
the hospital room after a meaningful kirtan hoping all would be well.
May the Source be with you!
