ALL THAT IT TAKES

Huntsville, Ontario

I was happy to see my dear friend, Kalakantha from Florida, come to visit us for a few days. He came direct from Delhi on a flight. Yes, he is jet lagged, but it was hard to tell by the expert delivery of his Bhagavatam class. Before going for his catch-up sleep, we chatted on the nature of how to advance the Krishna cause. Thinking out-of-the-box is our tendency when we get together.  To be more specific, the theme of guru comes up, and in our attempts to answer the questions like, “What does a guru look like in the 21st century and how such an important role can be practical?” it is always a pleasure to venture into a world of wonder that is not mundane, yet must somehow apply itself and pierce through in animation to an inanimate existence, the physical world.

I let Kalakantha take to his rest while Karuna and I took to Brickworks Park, the trail where I've done all my marathon training.  On that trail, Karuna and I notice all of the work done by the city to prevent erosion in the ravines connected to Brickworks. I know for myself that those efforts are inspiring.  To protect oneself from maya, the illusions of the world, one must utilize prevention and do all that it takes.

The roaming down to the ravine trail was, indeed, pleasurable. It earned me my steps for the day before the ride to Huntsville, which just overcame the problems of power outage from major storms. God, did those high winds, snow, rain, and ice do damage!

BEAUTIFUL BARK.
