A small group of us met with the Honourable Raymond Cho, MPP and the Ontario Minister of Seniors and Accessibility, at the home of a Mr. Vijay Sharma. I offered him a copy of the children's book, The Walking Monk, written by Anna Milagrits and illustrated by Olena Yanko, for his grandchildren whom he will visit in Houston. https://samhitapress.com/shop/138/
Nice person! He travels. So do I. It's good to be back though. The air is fresh. Lots of real prana in the air - life force. The snowfall came down today like magic crystals. It certainly was pulling me out of the building. I just made sure that my walking course was going to be off the busy Christmas grid, as I stuck to serene streets in a residential area.
I sometimes do wonder if there is peace within these dwellings. It is hard to perceive what goes on within these walls. At a time of the year which proclaims calmness, the opposing element could actually be the reality. There’s a lot of financial strain put on people who are shoppers.
Oh, how I hated Christmas. Not Jesus. It is all this commercial humbug that is rather irritating. The superficiality of it all, was for me at age twenty, a catalyst for searching deeper into life's actual purpose. I met my monks and my existence changed thereafter.
I wish people could capture the essence of Christmas, which is love, and not be enamoured by all the externals. Renounce the expensive paraphernalia as gifts. Spare yourself the anxiety of debt. Make the change.
