Stayed up 'til around 5am. Couldn't sleep, so I edited an audio file I had promised a friend back in January. Wrote emails and then had kirtan in my room with a recording of one of Ginaji's kirtans I recorded last Spring. I was tired, cranky and very sore when I started. Within the first chant, my body started floating. The next thing I knew, I was dancing in lotus position all over my bed and watching the light show in my consciousness.
There is a magic that happens during kirtan. It's different than chanting by myself. There's the collective energy of the musicians, chanters, and instruments. It's a powerful vehicle for integrating the physical with the causal. Oh, how I love it!
I just skritched a cat!!! First cat I have touched since coming here. I miss cats. This one hangs out in a cafe with free wifi, so I get free 'net and kitty lovin'! w00t!
The crowd here is interesting, and we're leaving it at that.
I have about 25GB of photos to upload and the speed here is the best I've found in country. I'm not going to get finished before my battery dies, but I'll at least get started.
Looking at the announcement walls in the cafes the Westerners frequent here, I could easily be in Seattle. There are all sorts of alternative classes, products and therapies and all the photos of the practitioners are Western.
I've been here long enough that I'm hungry again. I just saw some nice looking fries go by, I think I'll have some. Am looking for a close and cheap beach. I think I need some beach time.

Do you have the kirtan that I was at on the computer with you? I would really like to listen to it if you could send it to me. If not I can get it when you get back. Kevin asked me what skritched a cat met lol. So I filled him in. He's got four here.
