Toronto, Ontario
Reflections Of
In my afternoon stroll, a break from desk work, the most prominent and endearing thoughts and words of that walk with Patrick, I thought I would share.
· Gratitude for the unpaved trails in the city.
· Let’s keep in the shade as much as possible on this steamy day.
· There are hundreds of berry trees in this city, Saskatoons and mulberries, ripe and ready, and we sample them.
· People are darned friendly on the trail. The green brings out the best.
· Thoughts of gratitude for Daruka and Karuna who were with me in the just completed 4 th walk across Canada.
· A park bench so inviting that can lead to a 7 minute lie down while Patrick chanted some mantras.
· I have hardly a clue what’s going on socially and politically in the world due to being away from it all – walking. No regrets – in fact, ignorance is bliss.
· I find myself fortunate when occupied in soft chanting. Others on this trail don’t have this experience.
· Upon seeing me, a runner offers pranams (palms together). This I accept on behalf of guru. I reciprocate with his gesture on the same point.
· Patrick’s joke: What did the one cannibal say to the other when he showed up late for dinner? Answer – Everyone’s eaten.
May the Source be with you!
