		<description>Leif,
Now, having seen your website and work, I have to know just how you made your way to Singing Alive. I&#039;m happy for me that you did. Good move. 
&quot;Start a huge, foolish project. It makes no difference what people think of you.&quot; ~ Rumi 
That&#039;s me.

The gypsy wagon that I designed and commissioned is a tiny &quot;green&quot; home with a multilayered message. SingPeace! Earth Pilgrimage for Peace &amp; Global Harmony is somewhat of a circus: song weaving in the sing &#039;n mingle style that Laurence Cole does, Earth Gym Activities, auspices of Mick Dode, the Barefoot Sensei and Bard. We may have a musical puppet show during our next gig, Djangofest in Langley on Whidbey Island, Sept. 23-26.

The point of it all is to get our feet on the ground, get back in touch with the earth, the elements, each other and start making sense, again. 

I&#039;d love for you to come down for a couple of hours on of those days and run us through a some playformation activities. Is there a chance of that happening? Let&#039;s talk about it. I&#039;m at 360-579-2129.

Blessings on you!

		<description>Leif, I finally got around to reading this post and WOW.  I&#039;m moved by what you&#039;ve written and completely support you in this project, albeit tech&#039;ly so at the moment.  I can&#039;t wait to hear (one way or the other) how it&#039;s going for you.  

Inspired by another friend who takes one full day a week to spend in nature, I took an *almost nearly practically* entire day off the computer *and* out of the office.  Spent 5 hours in nature.  Hung out w/ a couple friends.  Got a spontaneous massage (the best kind) and by the end of the day I was feeling so much more human, spacious, relaxed, available, me.  I wish you loads of the same and better/more.

Looking forward to actually talking with you on the phone - you&#039;re on my list!</description>

		<description>Jeanne, Michelle, Rosie, Banu &amp; Donna...
Thank you for your encouragement and affirmation :)

So far it&#039;s going good, a real boost to productivity &amp; to feeling more engaged/alive with life...of course with a few bumps along the road.  I&#039;ll give a full update at the end of the two weeks though (I&#039;m taking notes along the way). 

Warmly,
Leif</description>

		<description>Leif,
I am so proud of you for taking this on. Having known you for sometime now, I know that this is a true challenge that takes courage to take on.

I am anxious to see how this experiment goes for you. You have some valid reasons for trying this out. Internet addiction is so hard to detect because it&#039;s built into our lives -our daily functioning. 

My heart and love will be with you...
Hugs,
~banu</description>

		<description>Leif,

Ahh, I identify with this struggle - as I know so many of us do... I appreciate your candor, example and brazen experimentation! I am so looking forward to hearing your reflections on this process. This very option - to learn the results and your reflection of this experiment so readily through your blog - is a gift of technology. And yet it is a dance, isn&#039;t it? Making it work for us, in ways that feed our soul, instead of letting it own our lives... 

Maybe I&#039;ll call you to find out how it&#039;s going... (that&#039;d be a *very* unusual thing for me to do... :-D)</description>

		<description>Leif, 

You are a breath of fresh air :)))) 

And with that, I&#039;m going out for a walk :) 

Thanks for the counter-culture inspiration!  

You rock the real world.

:)
