I am teaching my Sunday School class, a series called The Circle of Life. We are young seniors. Is there anyway to download this so I can use it for the class. There are about 15 people in the class. I would need it on a DVD. -

Great video and story telling. I agree with John's reaction to 2001. That inspired me to write my latest book, "Staying Grounded in Shifting Sand". I felt we needed to respond from Love not fear.

With all my heart and soul, thank you for the grateful, appreciative, joyful, funny spirit that you and your grandfather share so exquisitely, reminding us what life is REALLY all about! Thanks for making all of it available for all of us! WOWW! THIS is wealth to share! May I have your permission to use some footage in in a way that will reach a lot of people? I shall, of course, credit you properly. And thanks for articulating so beautifully what Burning Man is really all about! -

He puts the hard things out there! By hard I mean the things many people don't talk about. The act of giving has helped me find inner peace, and love myself more. -

I have been on a grief journey after losing my 21 year old son to suicide 3 years ago. He understood the mess we were in (the crap) but couldn't feel and appreciate the amazing anymore. He gets it now...with your Grandpa guiding him...and they are guiding me and you. I'd like to meet you some day, just as I just met Dr. Patch Adams on a clown trip to Russia. He's the Master of Hug Therapy and Gifting. Wow! -
Jodi Runyan

The sincerity of his message was truly uplifting and gives me hope there IS change happening in a
good direction for humanity. His grandfather's life created many far reaching ripples in the pond. I'm thankful for John being the Ambassador of good will and being the example of generosity.

Brother John with open heart, with grace balanced with humor reminds us of what our true calling. Open heart to heart sharing of our all being related and our "us-ness" rather than the illusion of our separateness." Life is our precious gift and John reminds us that in focusing on helping one another, we find our true home of blissful gratitude and fulfillment. In sharing his beloved elder....his grandfather....now mine too.....he humbly models respecting our elders who have deep life teachings to share.....if we but listen....heart-fully! I see John as a brave authentic brother who wishes to encourage community and unity in all living beings. Bear hugs to John along with butterfly kisses! Aho! -

Truthfulness about our connections to all people. Having recently found my maternal extended family I realize how we are connected to the point that we feel we have known wach other forever even tho for over half century none of us even knew the other existed. GRATITUDE IS A FORCE OF NATURE if you don't keep searching for what you know is inside of you waiting for you to find it and never quitting to listen to that voice that is ousgingbyou to find what is there to discover. -
Tom Rubens
The question was "What inspired you about this video?" Seems like such a silly question, doesn't it? I mean, really. The entire video is an inspiration. Thank you, John. -

Kelly Abundance Morris
I've seen you many times on the playa, but I'll never forget seeing you at the Temple the year your grandpa died and how hard you were grieving and how much you missed him. He seems like he was such a great man, I'm so glad he has such an awesome grandson to carry on his spirit and legacy. -
Christine Kaye
Oh, my God! This is just what I have been trying to say to a friend of mine, but Johm says it SO much better. THANK YOU!!! A million times, I thank you. -

It made me realize I'll been smelling the dog crap too much without realizing I could just wipe it off and go on enjoying the good stuff. -

His energy and joy are inspiring and infectious~ this reminds me of the message of Buddha, that life is full of pain, but by living in the moment with gratitude we alleviate the suffering normally associated with pain and loss. John is a wonderful light in this world. :) -

What an amazing Man, what an inspiration to everyone on this planet. I laughed & cried at this video. Wish there were more people like both these men, boy the world would be so much better for it. Amazing message wonderfully told. I do my very best to always focus on the 'ice cream' & life does truly get better when you do. I do gift when I can, in what ever little way. As for the Hug at the end AWESOME!!!! made me cry. Terrific, thank you so much John & Caleb. -

TRUTH! I loved this talk so much! I feel like I've found my lost brother in John. I live in the ice cream cone, sharing FREE HUGS round the world, gifting as often as possible. this world is indeed an Amazing place, how lucky are we to be in it!? To focus on Gratitude, to Gift. One of my favorite lines; "you can be self centered, True Self, Divine Self" I have found it so true, "making YOU joyful, makes Me joyful." It is my life work to build bridges between through EXACTLY the types of activities John is sharing! HUGS to you John! I hope to meet you to HUG you in Person! PS I organize a World Wide FREE HUGS every February 14th for Valentine's Day, would be GREAT if you were a part of it! HUUUUUUUG! and <3 and Gratitude that you are on this planet! -
