Thank you for keeping us informed in such a personal way about the health and the illness of our planet . So useful . and you keep smiling ... that's wonderful I also love the traveller's part ... money , organization ... Really , Thank you , Cam . you are doing a very interesting job .

| 30th March 2006 Becky Stracener | - From: Down the Body, Into the Body Cameron, your photography is just beautiful. You have a special gift. Thanks for sharing the beauty of the world with us. Becky |
| 24th March 2006 Susan | Welcome home... - From: Down the Body, Into the Body Welcome home, dear fellow traveler. I look forward to great conversations in digesting our experiences and rejoicing in our blessings. ...with love from fellow traveler, Susan |
| 2nd March 2006 Mark | Grist - From: To Bring Back Home More grist for Cameron's mill. Ask the questions, then meditate. To do the work of saving others we must save ourselves. A peaceful island can exist in a restless sea. |
| 1st March 2006 Bryn | Your questing gives us blessings - From: To Bring Back Home Thank you for challenging our awareness with your inquiry into the nature of selflessness. Perhaps when we give freely without fear of want we are sharing not only the material with which we dispense but the essence through which we give. seeking gratitude or acknowledgement for the gifts we share, distracts us from the initial act of giving- when called upon by our fellow being they give to us the opportunity to become aware of our own abundance and therefore the opportunity to let go without fear of want. (On a side note, your log challenged me to put to words my own feelings and understanding of selflessness. I wrote lucidly one time through and then accidently erased it. I was frusturated, although taking the time to write again lets it resonate more deeply with my conciousness.) Thank you Cameron. love, Bryn |
| 13th February 2006 Becky Stracener | Reading story - From: Being Human & Peace Tonight, I got the urge to print out many of your journal entries and read them through. You are on such a wonderful journey. From the first one on grassroot connections, to the humility of the humaness of your body in India. Are you now in the Pacific Northwest? I would love to share stories. Becky |
| 31st January 2006 gyathar | tibet - From: Being Human & Peace |
| 30th January 2006 Dennis P. | Sharing / Redistributing Money - From: To Bring Back Home Cam. Tell me you have a paypal account and what your user name is. Life speaks through your honesty. Your hand is open to share with your family as their hands are open to share with their families. We can add coin and paper to your/their smiles. Namaste Friend. |
| 30th January 2006 Dennis Peyton | Breathfull Heart - From: Being Human & Peace Ahhh Cam. Salty heart, salty life, salty tears....all on many sides of your experience/life. Sweet vintage smile, sugar dimples, embracing LOVE. No Words. Creative Love describes how Constantine's Dove moves now....Showing us, as an inspired Teacher, by example, how to sway and dance with our hands 'up', walk barefoot over percieved dangers, and weep openly. Ohhh Dear Dear Cameron. Thanks sooooo much for being part of my Family. Yours Forever; tears flowing.... I've so missed that. Thanks. You are an Alchemist and a wonderful reflection. Love and Deep Life to all those who see and touch your / our path. |
| 30th January 2006 Lydia | Welcome Home! - From: Being Human & Peace Thank you for the pictures and beautiful writings about your journey. Lydia |
| 17th December 2005 Susan | sharing your spiritual challenge of beggars - From: To Bring Back Home Thank you for this soulful sharing, Cameron... I too experience that spiritual challenge each time I pass a panhandler... How to stay open and generous and yet a steward of one's resources. As I refelct on what you've written and stirred, my thought comes to: Perhaps the opening is not to expect any resolution but to greet the aliveness, tension and call of the struggele of each of those moments. A wake up call the questions, What is the state of my heart, is my generosity flowing, am I being caught by fear and scarcity. Am I at peace and radiating peace in this moment -- whether that includes a coin or not. I wish I had some help for your Tibetan friends... Sending you much love and WARM hugs. Brr. |
| 17th December 2005 JUDY | BEGGING - From: To Bring Back Home FIRST, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY. YOU ASK AND PONDER LIFE'S IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: WHY DO I HAVE MORE THEN OTHERS? HOW CAN I SHARE WITHOUT RESENTMENT? MUST MY GIFTS BE REPAID WITH A PERFORMANCE OR WITH GRATITUDE? YOU BEGIN TO RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE LUCKY BEYOND ALL MEASURE. WITH YOUR GOOD FORTUNE YOU ALSO HAVE A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILTY. IMAGINE USING YOUR TRAVEL MONEY TO BUILD A SCHOOL IN NIGERIA, A COMMUNITY KITCHEN IN INDIA, FEEDING A FAMILY FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH YOUR DISPOSABLE INCOME. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN AMERICA WHO DO NOT HAVE HIGH PAYING JOBS WHO MAKE A COMMITMENT TO CONTRIBUTE TO SOMEONE WHO IS LESS FORTUNATE. THEY DO NOT NEED THE PERFORMANCE OR THE GRATEFUL EYES. THEY SIMPLY KNOW DEEPLY THAT WITHOUT RECOGNITION THEY ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE. YOUR FRIENDS WANT A BETTER LIFE IN THE STATES. MY FAMILY CAME TO AMERICA FOR A BETTER LIFE AND FOUND IT. MAYBE WE SHOULD BEGIN TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE CAN HAVE A BETTER LIFE IN THE PLACES THEY CURRENTLY LIVE. I LIKE THE OMETEPE MODEL. WISHING YOU SAFE JOURNEYS AND A GROWING COMPASSIONATE HEART. JUDY |

| 12th December 2005 Juddy Ogunniran | My Black Oyibo friend - From: Losing Colors Oh Cam,the experiences you captured are so powerful,I went right back to Oporozo and saw us as if we did it all again.And I laughed so hard as I remembered once again the dancing,the joys and exhiliration,the singing and the freedom with which we threw ourselves into it all... |
| 10th December 2005 Terry McG - Seattle | Blessings! - From: The Waning Days and Thoughts Karsten, thank you for all your inspired photos and writing, and the work for peace you and the others are doing. This is a true Christmas present. |
| 10th December 2005 Mom | - From: Pole of Peace I find myself scrolling down the page to look at a world that I have never experienced and a life that is hard to imagine. Then your story takes me further into your soul and adds to my knowledge. Thank you for sharing your experience....much love and peace. |
| 9th December 2005 BILL | BILL!!!! - From: Pole of Peace Oh BIlly boy! You don't know how awesome it is for us over here to be able to get on your website and find out about all that you are experiencing, and to see it! It sounds and looks like you are having an incredible time. I miss you and hope you are doing well! Be safe, and peace be with you! |
| 9th December 2005 Corey S | Beautiful - From: Pole of Peace Cam, I don't have much time to write this, but I just wanted to say what beautiful pictures you submit onto your webpage. I have been saving the best shots onto my computer so I can print some off and put them on my wall. Give the photographer a pat on the back. And if the photographer is you, then keep it up man. they are really good man, the people make them beautiful. I know you're doing good over there man, keep it up. Peace man corey |

| 8th December 2005 Therese Charvet | GET DOWN! - From: Losing Colors So great to see you all dancing, esp Kendra and Susan who I know. OF COURSE Kendra knows how to move with the rhythms--woo hoo!!! Love to you all and may you be blessed on your journey. |
| 7th December 2005 Sandy Hilton | Color is a perception - From: Losing Colors Cam - good to see a positive image after your nigeria blog. that was scary and the mom in me can't help but be afraid for you! The opportunity to dance with Africa is beyond wonderful. Oreo - what an interesting perception. We are what color we are and can only be what we are inside by our experiences.I am not sure why the outside ends up being such a big deal. stay well stay safe stay wide eyed! love ya! |
| 6th December 2005 Wendy B | You are not in Kansas (Bainbridge) anymore - From: Warri-town Thanks Cam, I am getting the most amazing flashbacks of my Kenya/Tanznia safari almost 15 years ago. I can almost smell the diesel exhaust and sweat in the pictures and descriptions you are sending. Keep up the good work, and keep your receptors open....... |
| 5th December 2005 Leslie Whalen | You are doing good work - From: Warri-town Hey, Cam The fact that you are turning Nigeria and Warri into a chant tells me that you're taking in all these experiences and transforming them into a powerful way to educate us about a life that we can't even imagine. You and your companions are brave and still optimistic despite all the psychological barriers that seem to be thrown in your path. Best wishes to you all as you continue to explore frontiers of all kinds. |
| 5th December 2005 Terry McG - Seattle | Karsten, thank you! - From: Warri-town Thanks for including me. What intensity, beauty, and as you say "raw" -- everything! Blessings and success to you on your adventure. terry |

| 22nd November 2005 Therese Charvet | AMAZING - From: Africa Moves What a great description of an amazing performance. I can almost hear those rhythms and feel the intensity, even through the computer screen. Thanks to Cameron for such poetic descriptions and great photos. Love to Kendra, Susan P and Cameron as they travel into new territory. |
| 22nd November 2005 Mom | - From: Another African Day Amazing entries....beautifully written. I love reading your perceptions. |
| 22nd November 2005 Sandy Hilton | Pink sahara - From: The Ancient Imagination and the Birth of Potential Another wonder of nature - a vastness so far and wide brings to wonder what all that space is meant for. And why we are so abusive to the habitable space we have and to each other? |
