~ Bali ~ Heaven on Earth


           Dancing around the World for 2 years, 10 Countries and I think Bali is one of the most Beautiful places on Earth*


Keeping these newly planted Rice fields flooded ensures a healthy crop.

Art is Life in Bali. Pursuing a life as an Artist in Bali is not as 'Foe-Pah' as it is in North America. Almost every house has a temple like this one, Intricate Stone Carvings, Incredible Wooden Carved Doorways, Stone Statues of all the Deities > Entire towns of Painters, Traditional Balinese Dancing, Fire Dancing in Ceremony, Jewelry crafters of precious metals and hand carved wooden pieces. Art is alwaysin High Demand. It seems like the Balinese believe the Gods really Love Beauty and so they Aspire to Create Beauty Everywhere



Anyone whose ever Frolicked with me through a Forest likely has heard me say that Moss is one of my Great Teachers. The Moss you see here is likely decades old, yet so small.  Moss is such a slow growing Beauty. Reminds me to Slow Down. Appreciate Beauty in all things. Listen.



Be Still 



Sitting with moss is perhaps one of my favorite mediation spaces.





'The Underwater Keith'






One Morning we ventured to this Water Temple for Sunrise Ceremony. Fresh Spring Water pouring out from the Mountain side, Blessing us...ahhhhh


           Purity










-By the  time I got in the water, it was covered in thousands of tiny flower petals from  the offerings in ceremony.


*An Enchanting experience indeed
