Celebrate Peace Summer Tour 2006!
Steffanya is a young girl who is fighting cancer. After a children's concert that we gave at a hospital in Edmonton Canada I spent some time with her, her mother and grandmother. Her mother told me that every night Steffanya talks to God. I thought that she would deffinitely be praying to God for help, but her mother said that she instead says thank you to God for all of the blessings in her life. This was so touching to me.
Karta and I are sitting with the sangat in Kamloops Canada.
In Olympia Washington our hosts fed us fresh flowers from their garden.
Can't quite fit it in there....
Mission accomplished!
The Celebrate Peace Tour goes to Ashland!
Here we are in Sacramento doing a children's peace hour at a gathering organized by the Mother's Support Network.
It was a wonderful tour. We really met alot of inspiring people. My favorite story from this tour is from Kamloops Canada. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from it... but here goes. We were hosted by a very sweet family in Kamloops. The mother of the family, Abinash Kaur took us in as her children. She fed us with delicious paranthas, did our laundry, everything. She had a back problem and I remember being shocked as I saw her crawling up the stairs with our laundry in one hand, the other hand supporting her. She would never complain. In fact the first thing she said to me in broken English was, " I never ask God for anything... I just say... if you want it God... fine, that is good. My everything is broken... leg broken, back broken, arm broken, but this (as she patted her heart) not broken. This fine. I am happy." Thank you Abinash Kaur for your wisdom. I'll never forget you.
May Peace Prevail on Earth.
May Peace Prevail in our Hearts.
May Peace Prevail in our Homes.
Over and Out.

Snatam Kaur ...
you bring hope and nurish my soul.
you once told me that in my life, the transitions I was going through with my daughter would pass (it was a very hard time) this was 5 years ago. not being raised in Sikh dharma, it is still a difficult transition for me. I am patient. It is a soul such as your's that leads the way for so many.
I know it must be hard being on the road. Thank You from the bottom of my heart for keeping up and sharing your teachings and your incredible voice.
