Its makes all the difference in the world, if you follow your heart and support project, communities and organizations that are really making a difference in this world. When you find something that makes your heart dance then jump with no thought what so ever, take a leap of faith and suddenly you will have leaped into a new reality. I want to tell you about such a place.
I am sitting in my favorite and most colorful cafes in all of Thailand, Free Bird Café in Chiang Mai the North of Thailand. I am spending time here Navigating people from around the world online
in the Game of Universal Energy. It's the perfect space for me with children's paintings every where, art work, toys and the dreams of hopes of children painted on the walls and I know that 100%
of what I spend here goes to Freedom House.
Freedom House is a non-government, not-for-profit organization dedicated to assisting refugees in Thailand. Their work includes helping refugees from Burma who have come to Thailand as well as
Indigenous Hill Tribe families. The Shan Burmese and Hill Tribe families don't have the same basic human rights as the Thai People and there is a real sense of joy from the staff and the
community of volunteers that have come here to contribute from all around the world.
But unlike most cafes there is something special going on here, the Burmese people working here are students of Freedom House and you can feel the heart felt service, because they know that this
cafe is helping the school and their Shan brothers and sisters to get a free education and to me that sincerity makes a world of difference.
In this space I can feel the energy and excitement of what is happening here and as a result of this creative abundance I am able to open my mind and be in the right head space to understand and
meet the needs of my game. For me being in this colorful and magical environment I have realized how much of our humanity has lost its ability to work with each other, instead of competing with
each other we need to co-operate and this is a fine example of a community in action.
So from my time here in this Extra-Ordinary Community I have made it my mission now to work more with people, to respect the friends that I have, to honor the elderly and the knowledge that
culture can bring to us and to build on the Freedom Foundation for the next generation to come. We are all part of one family and we all need to co-operate as one Universal Humanity and make the
future bright for our children.
If you are in the area please drop by and have some beautiful Organic Treats.
The best years of my life were spent in Thailand ... and that says a lot considering those years during the early 70s. I really enjoyed reading this. I think I'll try to make it up there in a few
years.
Peace~
