Grand Falls, New Brunswick

Going More East

 

Mahadeva pushed it hard, driving us all the way to Levi, Quebec. Today we intended to go easier on the road and took a beautiful break at Grand Falls. These kinds of tourist attractions are not bad for us to pass some time at. We converge or rather bump into other travellers, make friends, and in some cases leave them with something spiritual to dwell on.

Spending time by running water (and in this case “spraying water”) amidst trees and people is so vital. It ensures good sleep as well. Our walking was limited, but by a gorgeous gorge.

We do find ourselves chained to machines and devices, though our group likes to boast “we’re nature lovers.” You can use all things to convey messages to others. We sat by the cascading water and set up tripod and phone for a Zoom class with the regular Thursday crew. Our topic on the Gita Chat was “Thrilling like the Waterfalls.” Very interactive. Very relevant. Chapter 12 of the Gita addresses the flexibility and inclusive nature of God. He is so accommodating.

We were somewhat disappointed that the local food store couldn’t supply the popular fiddleheads which New Brunswick is known for at this best of natural harvests. We settled for wraps with delicious plant-based goodness. Olives and humus made it complete.

With my quota of mantras done, breathing in great air and having the best company, the best rest was provided. 


May the Source be with you all!
