MY ANSWER IS AS FOLLOWS.

thanks champ!

where to live? EVERYWHERE IS DANGEROUS if you ask fear based people. and EVERYWHERE IS WONDERFUL is you ask love based people..i travel a lot. i ride my bike hours each day. sometimes i fly. i do consults.i do live in consults. do talks, bike races etc. i do hard labour on organic farms. i sell vintage clothing and books. do housesitting. i wheel and deal and keep it raw and real by being savvy and buying organic fruits and veg as my main priority financially..

we dont need more money, we just need to learn how to live with less money and spend it on the things that are important!..organic fruit and veg being number 1 thing to invest in.

where to live? thats like asking what the best bicycle seat is..its gonna be different for different folk. my advice is just go and taste different fruits. see different places and meet different people.travel light. live light. be light. uneccessary possesions are just uneccessary burdens..how can we live with more than we need, when others live with less than they need?

i know people that own organic mango farms in paradise and they are eating hotdogs and getting drunk each night..so its just a reminder that nothing makes us happy but THE CHOICE TO FEEL HAPPIENESS IN THE PRESENT MOMENT..what we seek is seeking us...go within to start with.simple life fueled by simple sugars found in ripe sweet fruits...

living clean and crisp like organic celery. use our body for transport. lets celebrate human movement and get into organised sports, dance etc. lets know, believe and act on the fact that the no drug can 'replicate being high with health and fitness and a lifestyle based on contribution and life purpose'above all, we must listen to our heart and follow it....lets be open to the truth, even if it overwhelms us and upsets us..

this photo of freelea is from last week. the sun has not risen but the dragonfruit flowers are blooming..beauty never sleeps, it is always there for us to feel grattitude from. we just have to be in the present moment and focus on how beauty surrounds us in everyway. be it your body, the ant walking, the cloud drifting, the sun shining, the water pouring..beauty is everywhere, it never sleeps.

let us never let our passion for life fall asleep. let us truly believe that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. get back to basics. basic beauty. true beauty. sustainable beauty. real beauty.

freelea is a dragonfruit gobbler! she knows these flowers will turn into fruits that provide the glucose for her body to thrive. freelea knows you gotta eat the foods that glows. eat glow, get glow. eat slop, feel like slop.

you wanna be cute? eat fruit!
you wanna have a sweet life? eat fruit!
you wanna have enough brain food?(glucose) eat fruit!

was doing some work on a mates certified organic farm the other day. it took me 7 hours to pick a box of apricots and move a wheelbarrow 20 metres. oh yeah, i pruned a plum tree too. they say time flies when your having fun. and for me, living my life purpose is 'having fun'. time just goes cos your so in the moment...

ways for me to get 'in the moment'...

nude sunbathing.
birdwatching
exercise
focus on breathing
atttitude of grattitude ie focus on what im grateful for in the present moment..ie my legs, the sky, the birds singing, the fruit dancing on the limb...

right now this moment, im sitting in public mall. i found a power socket and plugged in. the wireless internet is floating for free in the air. i have a group of drunks around me. but cos these drunks are black, people are reacting and trying to ignore them. its funny to watch. what am i doing? well, one chap just asked me for a smoke. i gave him the durianrider smoke free pep talk and told him to stay true to his aboriginal culture and avoid selling out to the white mans poison plan..he smiled and said 'you is alright bruz!'.

fcuk, someones gotta speak up. lets share the message of health, cos its the greatest gift we can give...

who are we to decide if someone is ready to hear the truth? exactly. speak from the heart. its our duty..

freelea and i hit an organic mango farm in northern australia and did some woofing. eating mangos and using that fuel to help the farmer produces more ripe, raw, organic, fruit fuel gave us a great sense of contribution.

as an avid birdwatcher, i really enjoy my times on organic fruit farms as these places create havens for flora and fauna amongst the chemical mess of conventional ( poison) farming..

we did a quick trip to malaysia for a durian feast fling. 10 days of d24, raja kunyit, mosso king, d2 and some kampong varieties made for a trip to remember. we congradulated stall holders and went to a durian farm and got em direct. locals saw our healthy living practises and got inspired. malaysia, thailand and singapore are eating more ice cream than durian now! save the durians! save the cows! save the trees! save your ass! save your health! eat fruit! lol!

im back in radelaide. racing, giving talks and having cherry feasts under the trees.

my highest value in life is contribution, i do whatever it takes to get the message of health out. on this path we will get met with ridicule, apathy and stony faced opposition. i stuck up many flyers for this weeks talk, i even saw one get ripped down in an organic shop, a hospital and off a raw website forum! some people just dont like the message getting out. they let the lack mentality/jealously whatever get in their way. my message to those is 'there is enough abundance for all, have integrity and never fear the truth, suppress the truth or avoid the truth, as doing so will just lead you to even more heavyness in your heart'..

my bamboo bike has arrived and is built up. its getting a lot of attention. in a world of plastic sub 900g bikes, the bamboo bike stands for something more real.

dec 12-14, raw aussie athlete is holding a raw retreat on the nsw central coast. email rawaussieathlete@gmail.com for details. its a sure fire way to educate yourself of the best, from the best! lol!

both freelea and i are absolutely thriving. feasting hard, training hard, contributing hard and being hard! lol!

go get em!
