hello my dear family and friends,
Well i've eventually moved on outta indias galstonbury, vakarla, it was very sad, the friends i made have helped and guided and witnessed me grow into a new phase of my life, im the awakened one and sunshine scattering is my purpose in life. Ive had talks with a bar owner who runs an orphanage and will give me space to open a dance school....the kids are talented in the art of dance already but id like to teach them a bit more than classical and bollywood style, help them make a dance show for the hotels.... i believe its my calling in life......
.i would have to be here for a couple more months to teach and get the contracts sorted out, the sunflower dance academy will be born....i know you all know im a dreamer but i realise i can make all my dreams come true just like this indian dream of mine
I'm now in the mountains, living in a tree house on the edge of the jungle/national park, im in kumily and the park is called Periyer, its absolutley stunning man....im also surrounded by spice and tea plantations. ive booked to do a trek tomorrow im well excited about it but really hope i dont get to see any tigers or bears or snakes or spiders or huge squirrels that bite( everyone ive met keeps telling me the squirrels are evil and you see loads....) i know im a chicken shit but hey ho, i brave enough to be here so i guess ill just pray lots tonight......
Before coming here me and my good friend thomma went to stay on a house boat for the night it was like something out of a film, along the back waters, it cost alot of money but its was worth it, we smoked chillum with the captain, i ate full on indian thali food, freashly caught fish with bones and enough chilli to knock my head off but once i got over the initial shock i really enjoyed it, wish id tried it earlier now, pizza, veg rice, chapattis, ommettes and cheese on toast was getting a bit tedious!!!! im having troubles with my camera and waiting for thomma to send me some pics so ill put some on myspace asap, just to rub it in.....lol
The trouble in mumbai has subsided so on tues day i'll be heading up there, passing through, mysore, bangalore and last beach stop in goa.then im off to the holy city of varenesi, this is been exciting me ever since i arrived here in india, it is where all the sadhus live and where the indians go to die...it may seem morbid to ya' all but ive been building myself up to it, in the first week you wouldnt catch me there if i was paid, but now i know it is my calling more so than the touristic taj mahal though i do hope to visit that too, but i wont be rushing, i know india will see my face again, it is the most beautiful country on earth to me, ive found my belonging.....
I'm full of ideas, inspirations, life, its been a little lonely at times but its given me strength and courage and belief in ME again, some may know i have been very depressed in my life (B4 turning 30 that is, when i got a grip!!) i know i was just making my life depressing, its all in the mind, the greatest sense of all, im full of butterflies for life now, and being alone doesnt frighten me in the slightest, if im forever on my own this will never bother me again, love is alive in my heart through my family and freinds and through embracing lifes small pleasures.....anything is possible in this wonderful colourful world.....
So im gonna go find a bar/hotel with a p.a and get myself a gig for tonight, i love doing this, its such a great way to meet the locaLs, spead sum sunshine, even if they havent got a p.a some just ask me to play anyway, it so amazing for me as it brings people in of the streets and they stare like its something theyve never ever seen before, its going to be even better here, this is a less touristy place this is a mountain village man this is what its all about ......
I do hope all are well, the colds not getting ya' all down, remember thers no such thing as bad weather just unappropriate clothes, so keep warm peeps (not you Rik you just keep applying the sunscreen!!)
ill be seeing ya all soon,
Namaste, peace to all, love and magic stardust
