It's important for me to share the things I enjoy and love with others. Chinlone and music top the list - but there are many other things as well. As I get more familiar with how to use this blog - I'll be sharing more about chinlone and music and whatever else I think other people might be interested in.<br /><br />One thing I'd like to mention up front is that the name of this blog is going to change in the near future. That is because there is a strange situation going on right now where I already have a blog by the name of 'chinlone' (chinlone.blogspot.com) that I cannot access to post on. Hopefully I'll get that fixed and switch from this one to that one.<br /><br />The BIG NEWS is the upcoming MYSTIC BALL CHINLONE CAMP 2009! I'm very excited about it and have been working like crazy to get everything together. This will be the first time anything like this has ever been offered. It's a unique opportunity for people to learn this most beautiful art/sport at the source.<br /><br />It will also be a way for the chinlone players in Myanmar to make some much needed money. This is very important to me as I've always felt that it is very sad that in spite of having developed absolutely sublime skills with a ball, chinlone players don't have an opportunity to make a decent living with those skills. I hope this chinlone camp will help to change that.<br /><br />Today I'm sending out Mystic Ball Chinlone Camp emails to many people who have contacted me to express feelings about the film, buy DVD's and buy chinlone balls. I'm very much on the edge of my seat to see what the response is going to be like.<br /><br />One of the reasons I wanted to start this blog is to share with others all the beautiful emails and messages I've received from people all over the world expressing their feelings and impressions about the film and about chinlone. I hope there will be some kind of dialogue, perhaps forum style, where people can respond and make comments. I'm rather new to blogging - I should say, completely new to it. So I have lots to learn and I expect it's going to take me some time to get up to speed and be able to post the way I'd like to, add pictures/videos, add music links etc.<br /><br />I hope that I'll be able to share all kinds of things here - stories, other people's blogs, things that I love like dogs, art, animals, birds, culture, trees, beauty, gracefulness, insects, almost anything.<br /><br />Here we are living on this huge, incredibly beautiful ball - surrounded by all kinds of circles and filled with all kinds of spheres and spirals. It's all connected - we're all connected, it just seems like we're not...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/274485276041917720-1784985746665196116?l=chinlonecircle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>chinlone.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11009925313996212458noreply@blogger.com7
