Watch Your Step!

Today it was finally nice enough to go outside for a walk since it STILL continued to rain after the Festival of Inspiration. I went for a walk after lunch. i would have gone out before lunch but I was feeling  a little too dizzy and my back was hurting me again so I waited until after lunch and i felt better to go out on a walk.

I only went for a short walk. It was sunny with clouds. The sun was going in and out of the clouds. And there was a nice breeze in the air. It was a bit humid too but not too bad. I decided to walk around the pond a few times since I now know that my guru Maharaj walked around it. It was easier to feel his presence there now walking that same path he did. I had finished the last five of my rounds on the walk.

As I was walking one of the matajis that I know lives here (I forgot her name) noticed me walking and she said "Taking a walk like your guru Maharaj instructed you to?" she asked

"Yes,"I said. "Sometime I can almost 'see' my guru Maharaj walking in front of me while Im on the walk."

I walked around about five or six times. The peacocks were out all over the place. A few of the male peacocks had all their feathers up. They are very pretty birds. Then by the cabins, I had to watch my step. I saw a catepillar crawling on the ground, and as I continued past the cabins, I saw even MORE catepillars on the ground. I bent down to pick one up gently to hold it. They sure are fuzzy little creatures. I put it gently back on the ground. I noticed along the way that there were some that were squished. Poor little things. They must have gotten run over by a car more than likely. Ants were also on the ground and I saw a centipede as well later on, and then a spider run past. Lots of living entities today I saw on the ground, even worm or two. Bugs like that like cool and moist places.

On my last time around I stopped by the pond to watch the swans for about ten or fifteen minutes. The baby swans were still all there. There are four of them. They are the cutest little things I've ever seen. They are learning to swim and feed themselves along with their parents who are carefully guarding them. I've always liked to watch animals as they are amazing creatures and why people would want to kill animals is beyond me.

But anyways it had been a peaceful day. I did receive a message from my guru Maharaj as well. He still wishes me to return to Toronto and he had instructed me to continue to serve and pray to Tulasi, fix the shoe rack and help Jaya Krishna the temple president in the meant time and  also not to worry too much and do my best to be happy. So I am committed to follow his instructions. I know he means well and I know he only wants whats best for me to help me spiritually advance.
