on hearing about Robin Williams passing The terrible news of the passing of Robin Williams reached me here in the Peruvian Amazon late Monday night with tremendous sadness. Surrounded by over 100 friends and clowns on our annual clown trip, we mourn this tragic loss and continue to treasure his comic genius. Robin Williams was a wonderful, kind and generous man. One important thing I remember about his personality is that he was unassuming-he never acted as if he was powerful or famous. Instead, he was always tender and welcoming, willing to help others with a smile or a joke.

Robin was a brilliant comedian-there is no doubt. He was a compassionate, caring human being. While watching him work on the set of the film based on my life-Patch Adams-I saw that whenever there was a stressful moment, Robin would tap into his improvisation style to lighten the mood of cast and crew.

Also, I would like to point out, Robin would be especially kind toward my children when they would visit the set. Contrary to how many people may view him, he actually seemed to me to be an introvert. When he invited me and my family into his home, he valued peace and quiet, a chance to breathe-a chance to get away from the fame that his talent has brought him. While early in life, he turned to drug use and alcohol to escape, he replaced the addiction with moments of solitude to help cope with the stress that fame brought. This world is not kind to people who become famous, and the fame he had garnered was a nightmare. While saddened, we are left with the consequences of his death.

I'm enormously grateful for his wonderful performance of my early life, which has allowed the Gesundheit Institute to continue and expand our work. We extend our blessings to his family and friends in this moment of sadness. Thank you for all you've given this world Robin, thank you my friend.

It is no secret, women for all of history, have been doing what we need. All the problems of the world are due to men, you can't name one problem in history due to women. No matter how bad men behave, with their wars and their greed, and their nasty acts, no matter how badly they behave, the women are raising the children. And so we only have to act like, did you have a sweet mother? We only need to act like your mother. Did you have a sweet grandmother? We only need to act like, so it's not a big thing.

'Jesus must come! Patch Adams must come!'

This is crap. All we need is Mama. What Mama brings with her.

'Does everybody have food? Would you like some more food? Look, your hair, let's brush your hair a little bit, ah, your clothes need to be cleaned, let's go next door and help the family next door'. Normal grandmother, we need grandmother revolution. At 18 when I decided to make this love revolution, I started to clown everywhere, not think 'Hospital! Nursing home!' Because the adult world was 'serious', the adult world was oppressed, by this global idea that money and power over are God.

And so, when I go to medical school I start a hospital that is free, that is equal, that everybody is equal, that you have a lot of time with patients, you live with the patients, you have lots of art, these were the ideas I was working on, not clowning in the hospital, this is just a taste.
