the places you pass well you carry them with you on the soles of your traveling shoes

oh my god.

you have to try:

mix organic coconut oil

organic cocoa powder

organic palm sugar

(maybe some shredded coconut if you like)

together in a bowl

until it's a nice consistency

then put on a plate into the freezer

let sit an hour

pull it out

unstick from the plate

break in pieces

spread with peanut butter....

the most delicious homemade raw organic dark coconut chocolate ever!!!

(thanks chloe for the idea)

we have watched two amazing movies in bali.

"i know i'm not alone" by michael franti.  he is an american musician who traveled to both baghdad, iraq and israel and palestine to talk with people who live there about what is going on there, for them, for their communities, for their countries.  it is an incredible film and brought me to tears several times.  there's nothing like hearing it straight from the people who are there.

also, "fierce grace" a documentary about ram dass (dad, i think you would love this film).  neither carson or i knew much about ram dass, and it's a beautiful commentary about his life after being stroked, as he says. (after he had a stroke, and how he is finding grace in this experience and sharing it with others).  i also cried during this one. 

twice a month, the yoga barn here in ubud shows inspirational and informative films such as these.  check them out!
