In 1909, the gold rush was on in the area of Timmins. Since then, mining has been consistent. Timmins is the home town of country star Shania Twain. It is also the home of my good friend and monk buddy, Bhakti Raghava Swami, a.k.a. Real Gagnon, who spends much of his time with the mission in Indonesia.
Scott, from the Daily Press, found me at the side of Highway 101 at break time. I explained that there are many approaches to spirituality and that I'm representing one of them. At the campsite at Nighthawk Lake last night, we chatted with the owners, Bea and Bob, who have been there since 1979. They are both very active members in the United Church. They were very accepting of our exotic approach to spiritual life. No fundamentalism there! We were just listening to each other. That's a healthy sign.
A short visit to the residence of Peresh Patel and family who had arrived from Gujarat, India to settle in Canada.It was refreshments and talk about the goal of life that ended our day.
