I apologize friends and family, but there has simply been
too much stuff in the past two months to possibly encompass it all in one post.
Whether it was spending Diwali with my student Yash’s family/community, the
Vicand retreat where we taught the kids how to
swim every morning, spending an entire day at a Nunnery cooking in service as the lone male
among an army of Indian nuns who then gifted me crystals that wash up on their grounds when it rains, teaching Arts Integration workshops while having the kids
perform at the “inspirED” conference in Hyderabad, the honor of going to a Parsi Navjote, spending a week of
AWESOMENESS in Ahmedabad at the MOVED BY LOVE retreat and navigating the
National Gandhi Ashram/Manhav Satna/Toilet Café, attempting to peacemeal a
Thanksgiving feast at The Hard Rock Café out of side dishes while a Bryan Adam
tribute band blared in the background, or recording a song with Nimo Patel and Chad Harper thanking our collective
families worldwide…this would be a typical Nick Dalton tome. So instead, out of
gratitude for those that have touched my life these past two months, I am going
to list some cool cats I met and the AMAZING projects they work on, as well as
some awesome videos that either feature friends/my kiddos or have inspired me.
I hope you enjoy them and have a wonderful holiday!
On a personal note: I am here on out going to write every
week. SERIOUSLY!
