Pali
One of the most exciting and beautiful things about poi is the community that surrounds it. I know, it sounds cheesy, but it's entirely true: everywhere i go, I encounter amazing people who play with poi. And the better they are at poi, the better people they are.
Being here in Bali with all the retreat participants and helpers, all dedicated people traveling quite a distance to do what they love, is difficult to describe it's so good.
Does poi prowess enhance personhood prowess? Is that possible? I'm beginning to suspect so. Investing time in playing and learning has cool side effects, and I think that's pretty awesome.
I have to admit, being around all these amazing people sometimes makes me feel un-amazing, but it's hard to be sad around them for long. Each time it happens, I get to learn more about how to love myself, and I suspect it's making me more amazing, too.
So, thank you. Yes, you.
