The water makes the feet numb in the beginning, and then with a mind-over-matter spirit, we overcame. The most beautiful thing about early morning is that opportunity to rise above.
Along with a dozen members of the Bhakti Academy, we drove to those cliffs (or bluffs as they call them) in Scarborough, hoping to catch a glimpse of the sunrise, but frankly, today was not going to reveal one of our favourite planets.
