That night I was cruising down Whyte Ave and was in the middle of the street trying to hail down a cab for a couple of people when a random guy walked up to me and with a sly smile said “So what makes you think you get to do all the fun jobs?” I laughed, and then he said “somebody’s go to do the crappy ones.” Thinking back to my last job, he may have been speaking literally.

Thanks so much Henri, it was a great experience working with you guys! "Poohism" - By accepting our current reality, we then have the ability to change it. That could work. Yeah you are right Bugsy, it is a different experience and I am really enjoying it. -Sean Falling in the gutter Alison, ouch, not sure if I am at the point where I would be comfortable with that, but hey you never know!

Yeah... it got messy, but what an awesome experience, it's still one of my favorite stops on the trip, just cool to see how they live off the land.

Might be the next big moovement, who knows? I especially liked your comments on consumer buying power. I believe this is a relatively untapped and untested force, and one that can manifest significant change in the world, especially as it pertains to our endangered environment. On another note; please know that you have left your indelible mark on Lotus Soul Gym Yoga, and all those there who have connected with you. The youthful and optimistic energy you exude is something to admire and is a beacon for all those who follow your brave and insightful footsteps. Namaste, Henri Sean, I’m beaming with pride as I read your blog on “Poohism”; it’s all about us learning to surrender to our respective realities isn’t it?

I wish I could be there to see you all pooh covered... haha. I am so glad that you are committing to the pooh as you do the rain. I remember the first time I went to my friends house one Sunday after church... they were farmers... and I fell in the gutter... yes I cried, but it was great. Never had to fear it again because it already once before. Before you know it, you will be playing hide-and-go-seek in cow pens!
