I live outside of Forks, Washington and since things got weird in 2019, I haven't been out of the state other than a trip to Hawaii and Oregon once. The wind told me to pack the van for the ending of this documentary I have been working on and let me tell you the wind provided. one thing i realized since getting home. I am an addict. I started drinking coffee again and it's messed me up.... like quite a bit. I was running on cortisol and adrenaline from the energies of Los Angeles and a turbo trip up the San Juaquin which left me to crash out physically and mentally for a week in my van in my good friends driveway. The wilderness is strongly calling me, but not today it keeps saying, and a simple surf got me away from donkey island and helped calm my soul today. I'm learning the now is the how and holding back your creative energy is not what the doctor ordered. So after riding through the tumbles of a washing machine cycle of emotion since returning to this lonely town of real folk... I am understanding this... Time waits for no one who is attached to the future and past. Time only waits for ones dancing in the present moment. This is my attempt in short of documenting the beauty that lays dormant and ready to grow out of any dark emotional time. thanks for supporting and watching :) Sure feel excited to keep these going as I start editing the movie. Thanks for your time. Go create something if this inspires you and if it doesn't that's an even better reason to go create something :) Lots of love :) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyqb21t30sM
