pedaling away from portland....


Piano moving for God

front porch oregon style

God speaks through many people

In the same parking lot as the Winery we met a very nice piano fixer and mover. This was his familys trade. He was one of the only people in Oregon capable of moving grand pianos into houses and apartments without braking them. it is a magical feat. They invited us to come to their home and play some music. we played a little kirtan for them and inturn he played us some of his music. He had this huge speaker system in his house and blasted us with his GOD Rock! He was a very sweet man and started expressing his passion for sharing Gods love with others through his music and his simple living. We chatted for some time then went on our way. I wanted to go riding into the night. For some reason whenever night time hit i wanted to keep riding. I liked the calm quite roads. Blake and Chaitanya couldnt tolerate riding at night and this left us to a few fights here and there. Everytime I lost. They are right I was wrong. Today Chaitanya expressed his disturbance with some of my dealings. While riding with others it is no place to hold anything in. What happens is all day long you are riding and forced to listen to your mind. any relationship problem can blow up in a matter hours de to the intensity of our activity such as not eating, not sleeping, not chanting, and not associating properly. This evening we found a most pleasant spot on the side of the road in a toxic hay field. We ate and picked berries for breakfast. The next day was Ekadasi so we finished off our supply of grains and fell asleep.
