Wednesday, September 05, 2007 ( 11:33 PM ) shut up christine quoted from brian's xanga: i fawkin swear, britney spears, you are CRAZY. you cant sing for shit. go back to the crazy hospital! i miss you brian. after kolkata i met up with Arti and Deepa in Delhi and from there we spent a week in the Himalayas for a Jeevan Vidya workshop, which i think could translate as truth and life, or, the opposite of illusion. our facilitor was this intriguing enigma of a man, who after getting his doctorate from the most prestigious university in india became a buddhist monk for eleven years, then left the order and now lives in the mountains. he leaves practically no environmental footprint (ie he recycles everything, his existence is completely organic, it seems every choice he makes as a consumer is either neutral or beneficial to the environment in some way). and he kind of reminds me of a chipmunk. adorable. if i tried to explain what we discussed i'd mess it up. for all i know we spent six days in the himalayas smoking crack arti summed it up best - oh shit. but i did take good notes, so one afternoon we should read them over coffee and ponder our Self and shit our pants. i'll be home september 11th i think. anyhow a few weeks ago i developed a big looks-like-an-infected-spider-bite-bump on my shoulder in the place where my little bump is, the one i've had for two years and the one loralei squeezed and puss squirted in her face. over the next few weeks the bump morphed into a hard ball hump thingy about 2 inches across, and it got so painful that i couldn't raise my arm or even rest my bra strap on it. after the himalayas, the hump and the pain are gone and a weight has literally been lifted off my shoulders. coincidence maybe. interesting though i stopped counting after a while but i've done my 100 Acts. i think i'll keep going for people back at home who are free on saturday nights, a mesage from Supun: For those of you that don't know about the Lights On Program: A few months ago Be The Cause took over running lights on during saturday night into sunday morning. We are there from 10pm to 4am. The best time to come to service is between midnight and 3am. But you can come and go as you like. We serve out of a donated RV. All the food, clothes, and supplies are donated and the program in entirely volunteer run. We give people that are being released from Orange County Jail coffee, food, a place to sit and talk, use of a free cell phone call, etc. All of the people that we have helped are extremely grateful. Alot of them are released at times when there is no one to pick them up. In fact one of the reasons the program was started was because a young lady was assaulted and killed after being released from jail and not knowing the area. Her parents now donate alot to the Lights On Program so that people being released can have someone to meet them as they come out. Please tell your friends that might be interested. You don't need to commit to every weekend but having a few people that are down to come help out on a rotating basis would be cool. thanks more info on Lights On #
