I am finally writing about my time spent in Canada! Much has happened during my stay there that has made it beautiful - a lovely time that was full of growth, challenges, connections, creativity, and gentle moments of reflection that lasted a bit over three months. The stay began with Marie & Pierre-Yves in the countryside of the Laurentides; then at a youth hostel in Eastern Montréal; a detour to Chelsea, Québec for a few weeks to stay with Barbara & Jack; then finally spent the last couple of months of my stay with Pierre, Maxim, and Stephany back in Montréal, near the Riviére des Praries. |

Two weeks into my time at the Route 66 Hostel in Albuquerque, NM, I had this random opportunity to go with three other pilgrims I met recently to meet Amma, a well known personality who is famous for her love, compassion and giving the world hugs whenever she can. I had a very memorable experience that resulted in the realization that I needed to let my current stuff settle in, and that she is not my Guru.
On September 28, 2013 at the recommendation of my friend, Telesia from Australia, I visited a Buddhist monument called Amitabha Stupa. A stupa represents the embodiment of Buddha, where the core of structure is solid cedar wood, and blessed many thousands of times over by monks. What I experienced was something that can only be described as "utterly joyous".
I had an incredible day two nights ago where I experienced much of what I have learned on my pilgrimage via feedback through the body as opposed to the mind. The kinds of things I learned were how we are all inter-connected; the idea of separateness versus togetherness; the quality and nature of the essence of life; the flow of intent, action, result, and how we all develop along the way; and the true scope of the idea of the framing of right and wrong / optimal and sub-optimal. |
