  • “A friend knows our difficulties and shadows and remains in sight, a companion to our vulnerabilities more than our triumphs, when we are under the strange illusion we do not need them.” - David Whyte
    A deep friendship is one in which we feel seen and loved for exactly who we are. And when we are in someone's company and they are in ours, we have agreed to bear witness to each other, and that is a beautiful thing - when we feel safe enough to talk about what’s really on our minds and in our hearts.
    When we bear witness, we lovingly give our attention to the other without judgment. When we allow another to bear witness to us, we give ourselves the freedom to be known. It is an honour to bear witness, if we choose to see this life as an opportunity for extraordinary growth. So here's to doing so in strength, in weakness, with resilience, with love.
    Filmed in Portland, Oregon, United States.
    Featuring Anis Mojgani (www.thepianofa...)
    Filming - by Michael Raimondo
    Editing - by Justine du Toit

    'We don't know anything about what is actually happening in the lives of other people. What isn't or is happening behind any given wall, behind any given door, behind sny given person's face and heart. I have no idea what part of their humanity is shining and what part of their humanity is suffering. So let me be gentle then in the way in which I walk through this field with them..' ❤❤❤

    I remember being in that state of great emotional pain he’s talking about and thinking to my self ‘’the heart is not made by glass, it won’t shatter’’ over and over again, to comfort myself, but then I realised that when it’s shattered many, many, many times, it actually opens and reveals it’s true self, which has completely new and more profound understanding of love, compassion, pain, that the old heart didn’t have and wouldn’t have. 🌹 also, ‘everyday I am ok and not ok’ is just spot on. Love it very very much, thank you

      If you suppress emotion
      You are just watching the pretty lights while in the dark.
      When you set your emotions, and yourself free
      Then you are in the light of life, and the pain is just dots of darkness...seen but not bothersome, as long as you do not dwell and dally into their depths...
      Go leaping into the burning light, and take control of life💙

    My heart survives for one reason. 1971 I asked God if He was real and gave a damn about me to show me. INSTANTLY I saw Messiah HaMessiach (aka Jesus Christ) on the cross. He said, “I AM real and I love you this much.” He looked into the core of my being and said, “I know everything about you and I still love you.” Shame and guilt left and I understood what it meant to be saved. It changed my life. I’ve strived since too try to learn how to be like Him. I’m far from it but it changed me.

Unnecessary, negative, repetitive, etc. thoughts make life problematic and is a source of stress and suffering. It was an arduous process but I’m, at this point, able to be present without incessant thinking. I am fully aware of my thoughts when they come up. My life is so much better now. I don’t need heartbreak, etc. to feel aware of the present moment. It’s now my natural state.

Yes, your sentiments about the heart going through life without pain resonate with me, as obvious as that may seem, I may feel at times that I would like to go through life without any pain, but I am also acknowledging that my bad experience is in a way necessary for me to fully experience life.

    Brilliant editing ….because it’s not until 8 minutes in to the video that the editor decides to reveal that audience that something special is going to happen…..an event. Most “youtube editors” would frontload with a teaser. By waiting until 8 minutes in…..it feels like….a little reward for those of us that were patient enough and in-tune with the message.
