Hi Abichal.
I've just come back from Prague where the grand finale
of the European leg on the World Harmony Run was held. It was
fantastic! You look to be in good shape attached to your laptop! I look
forward to
seeing you soon hopefully and we will have to do our regular runs along
the Bristol - Bath railway path again. Take
care.

Hi everyone!
It was such a
great surprise to meet you today at Stanley Park, at the end of your
Canadian leg
of the tour. My students loved meeting with you and hearing about how
far you have travelled, and I'm sure you have left an enduring memory
for 26
grade 4 and 5 students from Carleton Elementary in Vancouver. We felt
like we were blessed today: no rain on our field trip, and the chance
to meet
some truly inspirational runners. Thanks!

Hello all you dear ones. It is so fun to see all the
pictures and write-ups along the Harmony run. Thanks for visiting us
in Nelson. We loved it, and hope you return soon.
Love Naami (Prapti's sister)

Enjoyed catching up with your experiences in Western Canada. Looks like it is getting cold. We're
having a great time here in Czech Republic - getting ready for the European finish in Prague

Dear
Team!
Congratulations on your glorious journey!
Inspiring
and beautiful! Love the stories and the pics. We have just survived the
Hungarian
Run, for a week we have been escorting the international team. No
escape for them: 8 (or rather more receptions a day). It has been
really exhausting
- I lost my voice and got sick at the end - but real blessing from the
first moment till the last. And what is more! Its spirit still feeds
and
blesses us, I feel. Loved the team.
The run also visited a penitentiary - quite a unique experience - where one of the prisoners talked about Terry
Fox's story. What a coincidence! Check out our photos if you get chance. Wishing you all the BEST!
In oneness and harmony:

This morning as I read an online version of the Winnipeg Free Press I was excited to read about the World Harmony Run and wondered if it would be too late to include our small Saskatchewan prairie town's schools. Checking your website I soon learned that even though we are only 69 km east of Regina, it is not on your route as you come south from Saskatoon and then head further west. However, I will pass on your website to the elementary school staff this morning, for their awareness. I'm not a runner but a walker concerned about world peace, so my thoughts are with all of the people involved in this wonderful event. Karin

I just love the scarecrows!! Were you guys singing, 'if I only had a brain" from The Wizard of Oz? You all look so happy and healthy! The Ontario countryside is so charming, and it reminds me of my youth. We used to go to all those places during summer holidays. Keep up the great work and keep sharing that harmony all across the country! i am following you virtually ( and fixing up the commas etc.) all the way! Love, Devaki

Go team go! Your mini World Harmony event involving all those countries in Ottawa is truly inspiring. I feel my own consciousness going up just by looking at the pictures and seeing the smiles of all the participants. I feel the oneness between nations. Thank you for your dedication.

Wow Abichal, what an immortal shot of you. That picture really says everything. So much happiness condensed into one fleeting second!! Incredible. I have to go on the run as well. Best wishes from Europe,

Helllo everyone! looks like you are doing wonderful there so far. The pictures are beautiful and i especially liked the poetry in motion day, well done Tanuja. Its great to see your reports every day, looking good Medur and Eric, didnt see you yet Salil but I understand why. Rathin hows the weather comparing to the Australian Run?, you probably had as much rain already as the whole run there. Fantastic effort everyone and all the best!

Here on the west coast, waiting for the run to come in October, its beautiful to look through the lense of the WHR and sense the vastness of the Canadian Dream. I send you my Heart's embrace and wish you courage for the journey. The stillness of the Pacific Ocean and the steadfastness of the mountains await the flames of the Torch.
Bhakati
Hi, so much harmony in Canada - wave of winds are coming even here. I can see that Sevati really enjoys these hotels...and her reports you can always know before the end. Let all this joy spreads around Canada in ringing friendship tunes...
Bright time to all of the Team!

Greetings to World Harmony Runners and, in particular, the Ottawa contigent! Thinking of you, love you!

Hello, the Harmony Runners came to my town on Saturday the 13th in Papineauville, I am from the soccer Club Papineauville/Montebello and I was there with my 2 daughters who held the torch and they were very thrilled about that and they didn't want to miss it. My daughters want to show their friends at school that they held the torch. I also printed the school activities so they can participate with their class and show them the pictures of that day. Thank you very much and hope to see you next year.

Best wishes on your 2008 tour of Canada!
