It’s dark moon and it’s time to sing about the black bumblebees on Gandharvika’s pleats. Then you look into the big brown buttons on Giridhari’s coat and see that all the while Mahaprabhu is watching it all and dancing.
Long leis are having their say again today. The sumanas flowers are arranged with care and attention to the symmetry.
In spite of the fresh wind blowing against the ratha-bhojana-vrksa the pedaling went on. Left at the florist’s to the toad’s road, he came out to see me sprint by but was teaching some young folks how to stretch so couldn’t join in the pedaling. At the basketball park there was a man selling strawberries and singing ranchero songs.
The village has construction all along their wharf and so I had to carefully pass in and out of traffic and equipment. The opal cliff took me to the point of the hook and the windmill formerly known as tulip land pedaler’s shop. The natasala is waiting for the weekend to have someone put on a show there. The gecko meets me among the shopper’s at their corner and we take off for the cruiser king. The three of us avoid the triangle and make the right at the house that taught choc-o-lot to talk-a-lot. The harbor is lively even though the wind makes the bay a little choppy. Between the lakes the bon fires are rising high to keep the sufferers warm as they party after their antics. The sunny cove has cleared a little as the three of us over take some fixed gear pedalers. The joggers, mothers, and pickpockets are stepping out of our path since we’re going a little faster than congestion permits. We sometimes have to pedal outside the barriers to avoid an unpleasant scene. At the big road the gecko goes east and the cruiser king goes west and I return to the service at sunset. With the respect due the ratha-bhojana-vrksa I beat the tag again.
“When you are purified and chant Krsna’s name you must know that you are touching Krsna with your tongue. Then you will get the same benefit as Prahlad Maharaja” This night dress is the touch that kills material consciousness. Offered on Nrsimhacaturdasi some time ago.
