Victoria and Albert


Jo Burgess at Hay House UK arranged so many interviews, articles, and photo shoots for me on this trip: Spirit and Destiny, Candis, and Psychologies magazines and Talk Europe radio, among others. I've met so many great and talented people. I'll bring Namgay back in a couple of months and do more interviews, as people want to meet him, of course. Now he's home working on some commissions; he'll love London, especially the museums, which are free and fantastic. I was able to slip away to the Victoria and Albert with our friend Robert Chambers, raconteur, linguist, and yogi. Robert pointed out these fantastic statues and the difference in the facial expressions of each. You can tell their characters. Robert and I were talking about how difficult it is to comprehend vast sums of money. To get an idea of the scope of things, Robert said if we assign temporal attributes to money,  substitute seconds for dollars, then we can get a better idea. Everyone understands time. So, he said, a million dollars would be approximately 11 days. A billion dollars would be 32 years. Amazing.
