| 20th August 2008 Johanna | Jack is out of his mind !!! - From: Rescuing Personal Mysticism Across a Balinese Island If Jack thinks he can live on "Nothing" in this world by simply relying on the "Universe" to provide him sustenance and just bum around on the beach, then he is delusional...A lot of people living under the poverty line are struggling to "survive" and will do anything to earn a living (to a point where they even have to sell their soul out of desperation).....Jack seems to be smoking too much dope I reckon. |

| 15th July 2008 Daniel Harbecke | Sounds wonderful! - From: Good Days, Sunshine Cameron and Laura, I'm grateful to you for adding me to your readership. I enjoy reading your work and traveling vicariously very much. But what's best about it is the kindness you share in your writing. It's very calming, truly a second wind during the workday - I appreciate it very much. For being so expressive, Cam, you're awfully camera-shy. =) The author can never fully erase himself from his palette, and allows a greater field of play in mentioning himself from time to time. - All the best to you - |
| 13th July 2008 chelle roberts | going away to come back - From: Good Days, Sunshine Cam & Laura, divine! The simplicity and complicated words to express. I sense the land and moments in time the rain brought to the land. Thank you. All is well here - hand watering with hoses and watering can. Gardens grow - the one your in is foreign to me with its produce - enjoying the trip you both are on. As you so eloquently wrote - ignorance. Take care and keep on truckin' - quiet joy, Chelle |

| 26th March 2008 TeamTurner | As usual - From: Finding Yourself in Solitude: 10 Lessons of Growing As usual well written and poignant. Thanks for sharing Cameron. |
| 7th March 2008 Laura DeFreitas | - From: Your Perfect Yoga Retreat I love that you compare that you suggest that the practice of yoga itself spill seamlessly into a mindful selection of the "perfect" yoga retreat. That's what its all about right, taking yoga off the mat and bringing it into day to day light. I really appreciate this insight and your emphasis on honoring your own practice/path one breath at a time. Retreats are an excellent way to take time out for yourself: to rest, rejuvenate and delve deeper into or begin a yoga/spiritual practice. In my experience they are also an amazing opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, build community, experience culture and to vacation in a healthy and positive manner that leaves you feeling replenished and inspired on a number of levels. |
| 27th February 2008 the soul cultivator | Brain Yoga - From: Your Perfect Yoga Retreat Iv been wanting to do yoga for months now, asking myself the same questions, what form of yoga would be best for me? Where in this world would be the best place to get such a great teaching?...and from whom? Bali now seems like a great idea, but I can not afford the trip listed. Iv emailed Laura to see what other options are available. I know my best friend from school days gave up his good job to become a yoga instructor his dream is now very alive, unfortunately for me he is all the way over in Canada www.openspaceyoga.com. He has never been happier. Fingers crossed something great comes my way. Thanks for the jog of inspiration. |
| 18th February 2008 jc | Falling in Love - From: A Lover's Manifesto The best thing in life that could happen to a person is fall in love. To fall in love is to gaze into the stars and dream the most wonderful dream. Your mind, body and soul drift into a universe where time stops and nothing else matters. Cosmic energy flows through your body energizing every fiber of your entire being. The feeling of excitement and elation makes your heart beats fast, your knees tremble and body moan in ecstasy. Your brain produces all sorts of chemicals flooding your senses, elevating your mind and soul in a state of trance. You feel exhilarated, sensual and at the same at peace......... |
| 18th February 2008 Laura DeFreitas | Love Overcomes ALL Obstacles! - From: A Lover's Manifesto As I read Lover's Manifesto a few lines from The Moulin Rouge come to mind. "A life without love, that's terrible!.... The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and to be loved in return." I'm a lover, and always have been, but my mind drifts back to a time when I set aside my romantic heart and lived vicariously through Hollywood's idealism. I've always been a sucker for Romeo and Juliet and Princess Bride type love affairs but as I matured in life and love something shifted and I suddenly found myself knee deep in the cynicism of Sex and The City. A while back I had a conversation with my housemate about falling in love. He, ten years my senior, mused about why it gets harder and harder to fall in love as we age. I remembered back to my first love and questioned momentarily if I could ever fall give my heart and soul with the same gusto and fearlessness as I did then. This was my turning point. I had a choice. I could live in fear of being disappointed and hurt by love and slowly let my heart close or I could live in love and open my heart to the world. "I life without love, that's terrible!" We all have a choice: to live from fear or to live from love. In the way we communicate, in the way we drive, in the way we prepare food for one another, in all the seemingly mundane things that fill our lives, we have a choice and our choices have ramifications. As you can see I am back to my idealistic self. Yet its not just me that beckons you to be present and positive, its the universe. With the popularity of the Hollywood movie, The Secret, the laws of attraction have been catapulted into the limelight of the general public. "What ever you think about you bring about" or "attitude of gratitude" are a few mottos to recall ever time you feel your heart waver in fear, doubt or negativity. You are a powerful human being, with an unending source or wisdom, creativity, health, abundance, love and compassion waiting to be discovered beneath the surface. I now fully embrace my dharma to give and receive all forms of love in each and every opportunity I get. And what's great is that the more I love the more I receive. The more I stop to appreciate the little gifts around me, the color of the sky, a child's laughter, the smell just after the rain or the sun's warmth on my face, the more I am filled with gratitude and love. Its the universe's energizer bunny - it just keeps going and going. You'll never run out of love if you see love in everything. That's why my lover and I have decided to make Valentine's Day everyday. Its fantastic to have a day like Valentine's to appreciate and revel in the very intimate and passionate love that the holiday touts, but what if that same quality of energy and support was magnified beyond this inner circle of family, friends and lovers? Start small and see what happens. I think you'll find that love overcomes all obstacles..... |
| 12th February 2008 Joney Pops | Stoppin on thru - From: I Am Tourist, I Am No Tourist Hey Cameron, Jonah here, thanks for the pure introspection - I love your openness in writing. I'm hangin out in Westport, south island, Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm working back as a bike mechanic for the next three months before heading off into the early winter across the southern alps by bicycle. I'll stay in Otautahi/Christchurch for a month or so and help out at the Free Bike Workshop and then head up to Te whanganui-a-tara/Wellington for? Choice photo of a melting building mate! Have nice days |
| 11th February 2008 Shannon Evans | Traveler...a state of mind - From: I Am Tourist, I Am No Tourist Cameron, each time you venture out into the world you are a traveler. Travel is a state of mind dependent on your ability to see each experience as an adventure into the unknown. For example, when you go out to walk the sea of humanity called Pike's Market do you see Seattle or do you see the cornocopia of people, smells, goods, and experiences that come from around the world to gather in the stalls and open air spaces? Think of the stories to be told if each seller, each buyer, and each voyeur were to sit, coffee in hand to share their experiences. I see the world each day as a fresh canvas waiting to reveal its image to me. Peace unto you my co-traveler... Pax Vobiscum Shannon Your Point White Writing Sage |
