  • 30-07-2008 – Hi Runners! I just wanted to say thank you for all the great and inspiring work that you are doing (coordinators too.) I've enjoyed following your daily postings. I too was on the WHR in the U.S. and it is such a blessing to be out there livin' the dream. Treasure every moment. Prabhakar, your work is stunning. I feel some special quality in your photos that makes them so real. I liked the photos on Dima's (the Ukranian Stallion) profile, he's a superstar. Good luck to all my friends on the Australian WHR! Peace – Erik Amrhien (Chicago, USA)

  • 27-07-2008 – Hello everyone, I cannot tell you how much I love your reports every day, as well as the photos, both are sometimes so moving I have to keep the box of tissues nearby the computer. Thank you Nishima, my only consolation for losing you is that Bernice has joined; and to Prachar, he is irreplaceable, but at last we have Noivedya to comfort us and illumine us with lots of intriguing back stories about our wonderful Oz. Congratulations, pioneers each and every one of you. love and oneness – Mrinali Clarke (Melbourne, Vic)

Your joy flows out of the fantastic images by ace photographers Prabhakar and Co. Stunning stuff of dreams to last a lifetime. Our oneness with you is rock solid out here on the road across America. Daily magic is the norm. His Face and Grace is everywhere.... On the beautiful earth we run, in the pure air we breath and with the inspired souls we meet. How blessed can a bunch of nomads of the spirit be? Peace – Banshidhar Medeiros (USA)

  • 22-07-2008 – Hello friends down under :) Thank you for your messages - It's so.o.o.o.o.o inspiring to hear from the other teams. Hello Dima and Nataliya!! Ukraine was great - we were missing you a lot there. Speed sessions are not the same without you... Prabhakar do you have enough time to run if you take so many awsome pictures ? The country and the nature looks really beautiful...I look forward seeing a slide show with your best shots in NY. We still headed south through the Eastern European countries. So wounderful! The people here are so open and friendly. Moldova is a very small but so hearty country. One day we had some 13 (!) meetings...If you like check out the pics here. ( please but link Moldova 0717). All right. It's late here and I got to go to bed - Gona be a busy day again tomorrow :) In Harmony-Running-Oneness – Martin Leitner and the Eurpean Team (Europe)
