Growing up Hare Krishna / Note to self: "I love you. Keep going" / the beach
1. Being in the Moomba Parade as a Hare kid, in a fierce competition with the Gas and Fuel Corporation for Moomba float prizes / Krishnas coverage of Moomba Back to Godhead magazine July 1985
(Does Moomba mean 'up your bum'? Was it revenge from Bill Onus for Moomba organisers deliberately upstaging Labor Day in a plot against workers?)

George Harrison explains why chanting Hare Krishna does something
Going to India. The shock of recognition. Discovering that one religion borrowed heavily from another one. If a Sikh person offers you a cookie from in a passing parade of dancing and singing... take the cookie, and hopefully it might change you. Pilgrimage could be to India, or New York.

2. "I love you, keep going" - not an inspiration from instagram, but a guy in New York with a very uncomfortable skin condition. Try it yourself!
3. The beach - why is it such a great place to think and let go of your worries? Because it's liminal. The littoral is the line between land and sea. It's always moving. This is a reminder that everything is temporary, and that either relaxes you or can freak you out. Don't even worry it's all good, that house on the cliff, you can't afford it, and it will fall in the sea one day. The almighty ocean says 'you are small' and that's good
But also the beach can mean body image worries. And that's why lots of us are not 'beach people' and neither is Joe, not in that way. But he sure loves a walk on the beach.
