Joy That Lasts by Gary Smalley: The FIsherman
An American businessman was at the pier of a small coastal mexican village when a small boat with a single fisherman docked. Inside the boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.
"Only a little while," the Mexican replied.
"then Why don't you stay out longer and catch more fish?"
"This is enought to meet my family's needs."
"But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
"I sleep Late, fish a little, play with my children, take a siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full, busy, and happy life, senor."
The American scoffed. "I have a MBA from harvard-- I could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds you could buy a bigger bot and with the proceeds of that you could buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually onening your own canery. You could leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico city, then Los Angeles, where you would run your expanding enterprise."
The Mexican fisherman asked, "but senorm, how long will all this take?"
"Fifteen to twenty years"
"but what then, senor?"
The American Laughed and said, "that's the best part. When the time is right you would announce a public offering and sell your comapny stock to the public and become rich. You would make millions!"
"millions Senor? Then What?"
"Why, then you would retire. Move to a small coastal village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your grandkids, take a siesta with your wife, and stroll into the village in the evenings and sip wine and play guitar with your amigos.

Another Sunset from My Room Window
Each Note- by Rumi
...God picks up the reed-flute world and blows.
Each note is a need coming through one of us,
a passion, a longing-pain
Remember the lips
where the wind-breath originated,
and let your note be clear.
Don't try to end it.
Be your note.
I'll show you how it's enough.
Go up on the roof at night
in this city of the soul.
Let everyone climb on their roofs
and sing their notes!
Sing Loud!
My Key
This key is the key to my room, the entrance into the Residence, and also into and out of the Cirque Building.Tissue Artists and Me
These two are sure beautiful. This guy is the most ripped guy ever. Even the other guys here say so. He has tiny striated muscles you never knew people had. These guys always had practice the same time we had poles. So we were able to watch them progress a bit.The Tissue For Dralion
Uuvee & Hempus are brother and sister. They are from Sweden. They came to Montreal for Circus School. They trained their two years and contracted right away with The Cirque. Uuvee says this is her dream. She is a great Trapeze Artist as well. Uuvee and her brother left for Austrailia to perform in Dralion. We miss them. They are so nice.
Watch this one very last of Tissue video
This is supposed to be the past picture, but I missed it. Opps
JUE
Jue means "Play". Here @ Cirque- They teach
us how to be little kids again. I have this class 2x a week for 2 hours.
It is great, but takes some time to open your self up to do so in such funky ways.
Right after this I was the leader- Vitali, in red was the leader in this video.
The teacher said that I really suprised her with my creation-improve. It was nice to hear.
Moomba
Funny story here: Daniel- the Australian Hippy on the far right didn't make the dress code. Haha. And so Jenny the half dressed mamasita had a hair band and some bobby pins and pulled his dreads back. Roberto on the far left took off his top shirt and Daniel put it on. Then we proceeded into the club. It was a fun time. Mark is the red head behind me-he is Australian. The Portuguese beside me is shorter than me haha! Terance is the African American- He is an amazing dancer and tumber- the Cirque called him and invited him here. He dances for MTV as well. Fanny is the little girl on the right. She is from Canada and is a little serious and shy. Chris in the stripped shirt is from England. Gabriel is going to Maco China to be in the New Cirque Creation. He was a world class trampolinist and competed against Ryan Weston.Jenny asked if I wanted to wear some of her clothes. Which I would not call clothes, rather pieces of clothes. Haha. I said, "well I don't even own clothes like you, and I am a married women and don't like to wear those type of clothes anyways." She made fun of me and says, "well you are still a girl- you don't have to dress like a grandma". Haha. She said, "well I am a bad girl and you are a good girl". I train on the power track with her.
Calm after Thunder and Lightening Storm
It has been raining here so much. For about three days there were thunder and lightening storms and then sun shine. It was fun! I love the sounds and the smells.
Adam & Yenny & Gabriel
Adam is from England. Yenny is from Mexico and she was a grand gymnast. We do power track together.Saturday Beauty
While walking at a street health fair I enjoyed the beautify clouds and sun. It has been raining lots here. So the Sun was great!!
Beautiful Couple
Age 19 and 26. The Guy Leaves his girl friend next week to go to a show. He is Ulvia's brother.Tasha, Mia, & Christine Jirard
These ladies are married. Tasha and her husband work on the same show, Corteo. So I have married women friends to hang out with.The Swedish Ladies
The two on the right are twins and controtionists. They just graduated Cirque School and hope to get into the Cirque Du Soleil. Ulvia is contracted with Dralion and she does the Tissue- which is the Big Blue Ribbon. She leaves with her brother for Australia in two weeks. She is so nice.
Me and Mia
Mia is my new best friend. She had me running around the lobby with her and throwing her up in the air and spinning her around. He is so cute.
Going Away Ice Cream Party For Hiroi
Mark, Hiroi, Hailey, & Gabreil. she leaves Sunday for home and awaits news for a contract. She loves Canadian and US candy- They don't have the same kind where she is from.Listen to the Italian play the Accordian
I would have down loaded this earlier, but I didn't know how. It was a very fun day.
The guy was Italian and his wife is Finish. They have three little girls. We had a big group together for dinner after church the first Sunday I was here.
I loved the little girls dancing to the music. It is not every day one can get live accordian music. It was grand.
Finally I landed more correctly!
This was taken on Monday of this Week. On Thursday I wasn't able to get a video of my pratice. But I was able to solidly land five salto's (to two man high collumn) in a row!!
Salto onto Stewarts Head!!
This was pretty funny. I created a new skill-salto to sitting on the head.
Mounting Artem's Shoulders
This is how I get up onto the guys shoulders- then go a back flip from his shoulders to another guy. He is a Russian Guy. I also jump off a Romains Shoulders and land on the English Guys shoulders. Translators are like flys- they are always around buzzing in your ear.My Teeter Board Coaches
Location: Studio C- It is the tallest building @ Cirque. Alexi is the Russian Coach in the back- he is an older guy. Sylvi is my artistic coach- she talks to me about centering my body etc. Alexi said to me the other day after I did a very nice Salto- " If I had a piece of sugar I would give it to you"!
