Mary Bell's art show was this past Thursday. Her photo's are gorgeous, and make a very strong statement about the situation that is on going in Burma. A documentary was shown, and a number of discussion about Burma and the struggles that they face took place. It was a very successful night. Mary's family and friends are really wonderful. Thanks for helping me get there Mary!!!

It has been a busy week. There was another awareness night for Burma @ Whittier College this past Tuesday. It was organized by a good friend Pyi and Prof. Jason Carbine. The night consisted of Buddhist chanting in the ancient language of Pali, a photo exhibit, a documentary film on Burma, and traditional dancing. There was an absolutely amazing performance by Lilly Hayden, and it ended with an open forum funnelled by activist and Burmese in exile.

Awareness is spreading. The sacrifices of Aung San Suu Kyi, and the brave people of Burma will not go unanswered.
"DEMOCRACY, DEMOCRACY, OUR CAUSE, OUR CAUSE!"
"Fearlessness may be a gift but perhaps more precious is the courage acquired through endeavour, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions, courage that could be described as 'grace under pressure' - grace which is renewed repeatedly in the face of harsh, unremitting pressure." ~Aung San Suu Kyi
This past Friday, once again the streets where filled with passionate people for change...also known as RIDERS!!! Up and down Los Angeles, through paths of consumerism, we rode to spread the word..."STOP buying Shit....Read more Books!"A new design to riding the "Circle of Death" was introduced...made by who (a pure genius i must assume)??? But demonstrated by all of us we controlled three intersections, swarming like bees, and shouting words of praise, the riders where seen and heard! RIDE ON!!!!
