I am in in the Fame College in Ulsteinvik Norway.

I am staying and working in the Radison Hotel as it was - now a Folk High School for 80 student.
They live and do their tricks here for a year before going to University or maybe the world.
I call it 'Fame' because Oyvin, the invitee and friend, is a music teacher here and they do a fab job at all the arts.
The students were on the mountain in the snow all week and on Saturday they came downhill quickly to have me around all day .......
...... Level Five stuff of course ............

I Have been encouraging them to step through hoops of experiences - a Road Less Travelled kind .............. and I - me - this geezer ....
........ my comfortable has been disturbed
..... my disturbed has been comforted ...........

I crawled up to be at 2 am after a long and stretching - satisfying day - stinking wow.

The desert of the days menu was an iPod Show in an underground bar type area - with no beer.
9 p.m. to 11.15 was magically full of music.
What amazed me that we had a constant flow of beautiful humans, after I had played a few and talked into the framework of the show, who came to the front to talk about their three tracks, and their lives and play dem tunes.
I was buzzing.
While the songs were playing, as we were propped on the edge of the stage, we chatted level five stuff.
Fantastic little snippets of conversation SO personal.
I had worked with them as a group and this was the first natural opportunity to talk one on one.

Out from behind their youthful, beautiful, energetic, laughter-full, beauty-full selves, crept humans of beautiful imperfection.
We only see a humans behaviour - we don't see their experience.

For me their behaviour is wondrous.
But, like us all, they carry inner hurts which only are revealed when we get close in a trusting climate.
I am privileged.
I am blessed to be here.

That is why I didn't blog yesterday - and the internet was down at 2 am.

Reflections to be continued.
If no-one reads them - I will still carry on - got to get my soul undressed.

You are beautiful .........
