The curtain's pushed back and the rhinestone crowns bend the light
In colors to be seen with the eyes you've not used yet
Causing assemblies to dance all across the universe
Leis of snapdragons, mums and sumanas flowers follow the divine forms as they dance seen only to the fortunate few all across the universe
Words can't measure up when asked to describe the scene of incense billowing out from the altar the laughing and the dancing all across the universe
Struck with wonder, stunned by the beauty of this dress offered when srila gurudeva was here to celebrate his birthday as the assembly danced creating waves that rippled across the universe
What a day for pedaling! The gecko and I offer respect to the ratha-bhojana-vrksa and take off past the post box of Mahamuni but instead of going on to the lion's park and laughing through the village to the opal cliff we take the left and begin the trek over the mountains. We remember the last time we went this way and laugh about the trailer people and the fruit stand that says “don't panic it's organic”. But the sky is an overcast tone of autumn and the beasts come out of the dark to roar past. Up and up it seems that the mountain will never end. Plenty of peddlers coming down the other way but none going up like we are only the toffee nose is there to mark this as a fragment. It seems so fast that the log tuck sign appears to let us know that the climb is behind us. The descent begins and we're hammering all the way to the highway. There's a detour on the creek trail and we miss it the first time around and have to double back. The sun is going down and only joggers are on the trail ahead. As we rejoin the pavement we blind them by our lights of truth and right so we don't wander in the dark without direction. The ground must be leveler here since we are able to sprint longer and harder. We pass the mysterious men on horseback that directs us to the party for Mahaprabhu's arrival in the house at two six nine.
It's a miracle mom, the nightdress tonight, that after that we have made it back to dress them in their purple gold lamiae and lavender. They are planning to dance late into the night to celebrate the vijaya Mahaprabhu at the new house too.
