hari krishna blessings

last night, when we were walking across leicester square, an Asian man srectched out his hand and said "how do you do?"

Adrian shook his hand and said "i'm fine, thank you".

we dont normally stand about and hang about when it comes to sellers in the streets but there was something about him.

"what are your names?" i waited for adrian to signal and tell me, "come on lets go and leave" but he didnt.

i said, " A" pointed to the husband. and im "R".

he said to me "you both look happy today. you both have a happy air". Adrian and i looked at each other and agreed,yeah, we are happy. but not more than the usual.

i gave him the coins i had in my pocket, i knew it was getting there, and i didn't mind, he was ok, i suppose with his warm handshake and eye contact.

he said, "oh, bless you.". and gave me a book. the teachings of Hari Krishna.

{the book atop a flour infested table..sorry, we were in the middle of making breads when this was taken}

i hesitated and gave it back. i said " you must keep it. you can give it to someone who is interested".

he said "no, im giving it to you. because you are a blessing to me today. and let me tell you, you are going to be very very weathy".

i smiled.

i already am.

my wealth and i headed home,tired but giddy and happy as ever.
