Saturday, Sept. 1

Alarm set for 6:30 a.m. and once again Bob is the first one up, showered and dressed. He donned his gray suit and straw cowboy hat today for our interview and meeting with the author. We still hadn’t secured a location for the interview and ended up just down the street at the Bell Rock Pathway. We had some issues with lighting and ended up doing the interview in a small, cavelike sitting area. Taylor had some great things to say about living life in the divine flow and applying his theories and beliefs to Bob’s way of life. It was perfect because he answered my question about Bob, which is: How does a man who was so abused and mistreated turn out to have such a great faith, love for life and love for others? Bob is such a good example of how to live life. For me, anyway. He has rolled with the punches and is truly guided by a higher power.
For me, this interview really gave us an explanation for how Bob manages to be like he is. In a nutshell, it’s his connection to God. But Taylor says it much more elegantly.
We attempted to shoot Bob on Bell Rock, one of the spiritual vortexes in Sedona. Didn’t work out like we had hoped and we were eventually driven to cover by an afternoon thunderstorm.
Lisa and I got to shop in downtown Sedona. Bob tagged along and talked to strangers, picking up treasures along the way. And Sebastian started his hunt for a special place he had visited years ago. He ended up finding it the next day. He wrote about Doe Mesa, which did turn out to be a beautiful spot.
We ended up at sunset on a high hill overlooking the red rocks, standing on a stage with a 20- or 30-foot wooden cross standing there. We shot Bob singing again and enjoyed the absolutely beautiful sky and surroundings.
After a stop at a raw food restaurant, some cacao and oxygen treatments for all, we had dinner at a pink diner with an alien theme. By the way, Bob says there is no such thing as aliens. They are not of God’s world, he says. Interesting….
