    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.

      Oh such a beautiful soul. The struggles of being human are real so is the beauty of a human life. I’m struck often with the beauty of nature, it stops me in my tracks. It’s so pure and un rushed. We are just a part of nature although we sometimes hold ourselves above it. We are all wanting to connect and yes I believe we all want the same things. If we can put down our fear of being seen and judged and in control we can then speak from our hearts. Love to all. ❤

    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 {~*~}

    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.

    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.

    This is so beautiful! It resonates so much with me. Deep down we are all the same. Thank you. I just sat and cried, something I haven't been able to do for a long, long time.

    We all come into and leave this world alone. But, if all you have is yourself, you are in great company my friend! It's sad kind-hearted and quiet people are lonely, conforming to a shallow existence where your inner-self is suppressed, but to need material things ,sex, money, and fake smiles to appear happy and "avoid the void"- That is true loneliness.

    Imagining walking through the world constantly being judged, frequently having to explain yourself, and still holding all this compassion for yourself. He is wise beyond his years and the experience of most.
    May he always be safe, happy, and in a state of loving himself.

    Good morning! You are a male version of me. I was born and raised in East New York Brooklyn. I am 57, so I remember the hardships and fears. My parents were emotionally broken, so I am still craven hugs, kisses and sense of love. Thank you for sharing and reminding me that I am not alone.

    Nature’s beauty, those moments of absolute beauty & divinity in nature that so many people miss out on & the innocent pure laughter of children, living each day with kindness, these are the important things in life that we seem to have lost track of in our modern world. Your words are so wise & true.

    I very much relate to this man. We are worthy. Enjoy those moments. We are all searching for love, being enough. It's hard to return to source. How you describe stepping outside and being seen by your external, while being in nature you are not defined by those things. That was beautiful
