Who you might see on the bus on the way to St Martin-in-the-Fields!


Look carefully at the passengers getting off the buses at Trafalgar Square, on Wednesday morning, especially those from Willesden!! You may a smallish woman dressed in a white sari (maybe with a white macintosh if the weather goes on like this), she has a lovely smile and everyone on the bus may be so enchanted with her that they may follow her off the bus and into St Martin-in-the-Fields.  I will be there!! and I will be as pleased as pleased to see her because she is Sister Jayanti, European Director of a worldwide movement called the Brahma Kumaris, a group of world well wishers who wear white and get up at 4.00 am. She may come by car though which will be sad for the bus driver but she will still be in Trafalgar Square heading to St Martin-in-the-Fields.

Emily Johnston
I have written about them before and about her but never before about her travel arrangements.  I think I had imagined that she travelled by lightship or at least by a most sophisticated method, not just on the good old London bus like you and me.  But this is a woman who will surprise you by her humanity as well as her special light, you are bound to like her just as I do because she will make you feel worthwhile, feel your very best self and her smile will spread itself across your face without you thinking you have moved a muscle.   Because she reminds you of your best self, it reminds you to do the same to others you meet and if we all tried to do that we might really make a difference to those people who travel on the bus with US.  She is coming to talk to people who are interested in meditation, (many Grannies and Grandpas as well as young people) in the morning.  There will also be Emily Johnston in there, another great speaker and lover of meditation. And coming along too you may See Father Laurence Freeeman, stepping  into St Martin -in-the-Fields to lead people from all faiths and maybe some from none in a meditation.  This is Just this Day 2014 and if you want to come, there will still be room for you!
