Poem for Jul 10



Personal Stanza


Baladeva is away
and the two other men
came up at 1:00 A.M.
without my even calling for them.
They attended to my wake-up rituals.
They know pretty much how to do it
but I had to correct a few mistakes.
Baladeva is in anxiety
about the responsibilities
of processing his green card
and finishing up affairs in Trinidad
so he and his wife can move here in December.
I want to tell him to be responsible
but to try to ease up on the anxiety.
Kaliya Damana has an interest
other than staying and doing duties
in the asrama. He likes to go out and
do yoga programs. He will be leaving
not long from now to go to California.
Then Baladeva Vidyabhusana will
again be without helpers and this causes
him strain on his body and mind.
He is very much awaiting Trinidad
Baladeva’s move to the U.S.A. in December.
He will be a great relief.
