Pilgrimage to Holy Mountain 10


Ten



Good Food and Drink:


Several times each week, Kalogiros rides his motorcycle out of the city to a spring in the mountains where he fills several plastic bottles with pure drinking water.

These expeditions always take place at night when the heat of the day is diminishing. Many times I ride behind him with my hands gripping his shoulders for dear life as he rxpertly navigates the city traffic and then the country roads.

He drinks only this pure spring water and does all his own vegetarian cooking. Though he seems quite healthy, he tells me he had recently spent several months in the hospital as a result of the “no resistance” and other spiritual/physical experiments.

I especially like these night expeditions for water since we would always stop at a shop on the way home which sells that truly divine food, Greek yogurt.
