  • We are all wonderfully unique, gifted individuals, and yet we don't inherently know that. We tend to place our worth in the hands of others.
    Our worth isn't defined by whether or not someone else loves, values or appreciates us - it's inherent. We are worthy because we are alive. We are worthy because within our heart lies an infinite capacity for compassion, kindness, and connection. We are worthy because in our vulnerability, we find our strength, and through our imperfections, we discover our humanity.
    We are worthy because we are a human being in this massive, confusing, magical, surprising world. And that is reason enough to believe in something as silly - and absolutely certain - as love.
    Filmed in New York City, USA.

    Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth - that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.

    When I heard "the light hit the tree....oh my God in such a beautiful way and it lit up in orange," I immediately thought of the saying "We don't see the world as it is, we see the world as we are." I was struck by the man's inner peace and joy allowing him to appreciate the surrounding beauty.

    I am 62 and have been on a journey of self discovery since the age of 26 ( I was widowed at 22) and have watched so many of your films......THIS one has touched me so deeply. Feeling worthy, feeling enough, feeling smart enough all have been so challenging for me Most of my adult life. I know today my patents did the bet that they knew how, given all the ancestral abuse and dysfunction handed down. I feel to be the "chosen one" to end the behaviors. I don't claim to be perfect, we are all a work in progress. I continue to open my self up to the Light of the Wisdom of Truth inside of me to come to stillness and pause. To see the beauty of a sunset, sunrise, watch a bird eating in a feeder, a frog hopping in my yard. To feel the breeze on my skin. To be present to the the moment at hand and be in gratitude. Thank you for your heartfelt films and the gentleman in this film for sharing his journey with us all. Namaste {~*~}

    That mask I wear is my survival technique....whereas people would think I am...too serious. It serves me , not because I want to seen that way, it just deter any negativities or unwarranted confrontations. I wish they could see my heart as it is always bursting with the joy of laughter and an appreciation for life. Nature as a way of bringing me such peace and priceless moments of awe, as it is so unpretentious, in its purest form and affords me a time when I can say....'God this can only be You!' Life as loan me a lot of bends, detours and pitfalls, I cry and worry but I never stay there. I refer to Ecclesiastes 3:1-8....Everything in life is seasonal, some longer than others, however I never give up, just in case at the next bend there is.... straight road ahead.

    I turned 60 earlier this year in January, so I feel every bit of what this man is conveying. I didn't grow up in a dangerous neighborhood back in the day, but I did feel like I needed to put on that mask of protecting myself and it did work for me in school because I put up that wall of not being approachable and with being a Native American in an all white school in the early 70's was pretty tough for a female. But, later on at a high school reunion, I did find out that I was portrayed to be this bad ass chick that no one wanted to mess with lol guess it was a good thing because it kept me outta fights or any tyoe of confrontations. But, thank you for this story.. what a genuine man.

    My mind is blown with this video! Tears are not of sadness, but a real beautiful human being still exists. I live upstate NY, when in the city I would love to have coffee and get more wisdom you are engulfed with. God has you full of insight and wisdom, and you need to share that especially in these days.

    I hear you and see you… I came from a family of generational abuse. Relationships are a struggle as I fight my way through myself. Hoping I won’t be alone too. My dogs are the loves of my life. Self worth is a major factor as I picked two emotionally abusive relationships to be in. Unavailable mother, and sibling abuse left me in a low place. I’ve read books, done meditations, and many other things to help myself none of it really worked. I just want to be happy and full of joy. Money is second. ❤ I worked through my shadows a lot and am in a better place but still abandonment and rejection floats up often. I see the little things as beautiful and I too laugh and find things silly and utter chaos of uncontrollable laughter rushes through me and it’s the best.

    I’m in my 50s. My husband passes away abruptly in May. I only had 4.5 healing years with this handsome (heart and body) man. I have never laughed so much. His death left a great space where I utterly lost my small self esteem. I have begun to heal. The mirror is harsh and get scared.
    It is my patch of woods and the river where I began to really see myself again. ♥️
    Thank you for this interview. It was what I needed exactly when I needed it.
