bangalore - quick note

In Bangalore on paid internet time - and super busy playing with my Circus Yoga family. Will write a more formal post next week or so... Am in the training with the most incredible group of young men, they are all in their early 20's and either were street kids or child laborers. They decided to change their world, and taught themselves fire dance and drumming. As a team of 10, they now tour and perform internationally, Sweden is up next, and recently they were on a television program like American Idol here in India. They are making a living and paying for their education through their performances and spend all of their free time donating time working with youth in orphanages here, and poor schools teaching movement, music, theatre. Most either are working on or have their masters in social work or a related field. I am totally inspired, and deeply thankful to call them friends. I hope to get them to Bal Ashram and the school there. The kids would love it.

Found today: razor. toilet paper. best place in the world for dosa (rice like pancake thing - amazing). Incredible ayurvedic skin products.

This equals a very good day.

Happy Holidays everyone. Much love.
