photo kenny01fns8_zps5rol4xt0.jpg

this is kenny. he is one of the many homeless in downtown seattle.
i saw him squatting one day with his sign asking for money
and i went and squatted next to him.
i told him my name was katia and he told
me his name was kenny.
i told him he was beautiful.
i didn't lie. he is beautiful to me.
he said no, i'm not.
i said yes.
he said no.
i said well, i see beauty when i look at you.
he said how could this be?
i said it be.
he smiled and his eyes twinkled.
i'm not lying - they twinkled.
i gave him some money and asked
if i could take his photo,
could i make a frame of his beautiful face?
yes.
and then we hugged and i kissed his cheek.
and
it was beautiful.

after my first gathering it was an enlightening experience - it was new it was
unlike anything i'd ever encountered before but everything i'd ever hoped for.
mindblowing. you take off your clothes, you take off your defenses,
you take off everything you rely on to define yourself.
and you trust.. co's you're home.

from 'warriors of the rainbow, pt i'


warriors of the rainbow, pt i - 10 mins.

warriors of the rainbow, pt ii - 10 mins.

warriors of the rainbow, pt iii - 5 mins.

watch them.

i'm going home to the rainbow gathering, this year held in the colorado rockies.
it's always a very real experience of love, sharing, openness, communion and Utopia for me.
and on july 4th (interdependence day) 20,000 of us strong are praying for peace on this beautiful planet.
i hope you can join us in that wherever you are. ;)
be back in a week! take good care. :)















:peace: all we are saying is give peace a chance. :peace:

regarding the song, on the day of july 4th, all the thousands at the gathering are silent. meditating. embodying peace.
then at high noon all wordlessly stand and gather into a massive circle.
the person in front of you is just a small dot.
everyone clasps hands and prays in whatever way they wish.
some start to ommmmmmmmmmm. it's a chilling experience to hear hundreds
of people in a unfathomably giant circle ommmmmmmmmmmmmm.
then the children burst out of kiddy village and lead a colourful
parade down to the middle of the circle, singing this song.
little children with their beautifully joyous high-flying voices singing,
'all we are saaaaaaaying is give peace a chaaaaaaaaaaaance'
you're a stone if you're not drenched in tears by then.

...............

amazing..

i'll do what i do every year that always brings me such Joy
and ask you kindly to leave me a favourite photo
(whether yours or someone elses)
or bring me a favourite song,
