Beautiful soul. I don't know where you manage to find these people with such thoughtfulness and wisdom, and a willingness to share in honesty and vulnerability, but it's truly a gift.
I think we are in some sense all of these people that we watch on green Renaissance! The little bits of everyone that we have attained through our lifetime, the pain the joy the growth the repentance the beauty.
After losing my job because of the pandemic I learnt a lot from this channel. I went back home and started a community garden with free lessons and free seeds for the villagers. Living offgrid have given me an advantage in that I now know how to survive on a very little amount of money. My village is sending you hugs and kisses. Department Of Deeds Approved💚💚💚
@Department Of Deeds - What you are doing to uplift and inspire others is a true gift to your community. THANK YOU for all that you do to bring more light to those around you. Please tell your entire village that Justine and Michael send so much love to each and every single one of you x
@departmentofgooddeeds Waaaw! Love that! Thanks for sharing this positive message, it truly gives hope. Little steps wil make a huge one in the long term 💜🙏🏻 if we all do these steps, wat can we do now... It will mean a lot to the change for our new future humanity 🙏🏻
@The Lifestyle Guru - You guys inspire us every day, with your words of encouragement and support for this little project. Thank you for believing in the power of these stories!! So much love to you too. Justine x
Another brilliant one. This is what I tell my neighbors- maybe covid is a gift, a tremendous opportunity to heal. Sometimes it takes pain like this to unblock our hearts.
@@bask809 I agree. And continued control despite less deadly strains and an over 99% survival rate. If only they would have panicked this readily over curing cancer, which kills far more people globally.
I have thought for some time that covid is a plan from the Divine to heal the people on this planet, to heal them in the way of bringing their hearts back to the right place
As an introvert, I have appreciation for the time away from others. I have finally had the opportunity to learn about myself in an unhurried, unplanned lifestyle. When in public places, I do wear a mask, which still allows me feel somewhat hidden from others. I treasure this moment. I know it's hard, but take what you can learn about yourselves and apply them. Listen to nature for direction when others are not available to you. Relax and enjoy whatever is available during these times.
@@123prestolee I don't see wearing a mask as an "awful agenda." So when you see people who still wear them, understand it is their choice. You don't know the reasoning behind their decision. Because believe it or not, there are times when the choices we make are not about politics.
@@PDogB In the Uk, we are still forced to wear the face muzzle - it’s not optional. Please bear in mind that over 75% of our population have been vaccinated, so quite clearly there is an agenda. Introversion remains a beautiful thing.
@@123prestolee In america, the "muzzle" is no longer enforced in many places and venues have begun opening in select area(s). There is an "honor" system near me where we can shop without a mask if fully vaccinated. (Having received both vaccines) Also near me, many have chosen to not wear masks early on and have resisted in businesses which posted requirements to do so whilst patronizing on their property. "It's our constitutional right as americans, to not be forced to wear a mask," some will say. Our former president told us it was not necessary as well, so it turned into a political statement, etc. So, your comment may perhaps have a different meaning in the UK around the mask issue. I just needed to say my choice is not based on politics, or complying with a political stance or agenda in any way.
There is a bus driver in Tasmania Australia who does the drive from Dove lake to Cradle Mountain and back everyday... He has a beard and wears a hat. Tells stories, randomly, and captivates the tourists. Please go there and interview him... I thought he'd be perfect for this channel - whatever he's story may be. Big heart!
Be like water, aware that water follows the path of least resistence, not stagnant. Maybe it's time for humans to leave herd-dependent mentality and survive independently, creatively, autonomously ... in unity with the creator. The world was broken before 2020 in herd mentality of competitiveness and greed, so maybe it's time to reinvent the wheel, but not one at the expense of another ... with God at the centre, the fulcrum. Wonderful presentation of the simple life. Thank you🌹
I’m 58yo and I all know is this woman is 100% right - we have soften our hearts to each other. Where and how do you find these incredible souls - this is the wisdom the world needs now ✨
@Tanya - We have found, through this film journey, that everyone has a story to share. But it's about listening with an open heart and mind, without judgement, and allowing the story to simply flow. xx

"If we are all awake enough… so that we stop this lunacy of only following our heads and learn to listen to our hearts.

Absolutely love your beautiful films. They move the heart and feed the soul. - Director, Lowson International Studios
Another "WOW", GR. "...we are not conscious of everything that's happening emotionally and we act that out irresponsibly." Yes! If there's anything I've learned in my years as a Psychiatric Crisis Nurse in addition to bearing witness to my own life, this sums up so much of the harm we do to ourselves and each other. That, and how we fight against one another because we perceive a lack of resources, compete against one another for them and are merely trying to survive. So much wisdom in everything Cathy says. "Ultimately, the herd knows it's survival is dependent upon the herd." Goosebumps and kleenex at the end. Her words about the head and the heart...oh my...YES, YES, YES! Thank you for returning to her so that we can hear her speak so profoundly into our lives and times.
@Linda Parisi - Again, as they always do, your words reach deep into my heart! If we could all just learn to be more gentle with each other, to understand that we're all walking our own path, and yet we can give each other so much help along the way. x
She's so beautiful. The glow around her, within her is beautiful as well. I quiet my mind and try to absorb the things she evokes inside me. I think they're called emotions - emotions I shut down long ago.
That's because at least the life we didn't like was familiar and more or less predictable....the way forward is like walking down a dark tunnel with a blindfold on, we have NO IDEA what's ahead
I love this woman.....she is so real....I love her independence....her place....how she grows everything she eats....it’s fabulous I especially love her depth
Beautiful message that brought tears to my eyes. This is exactly how I've been feeling since the beginning of the "pandemic". It's our opportunity to shift consciousness.
We are all experiencing collective grief… Our hearts are cracking open… Be like water… This video touched my heart deeply. It’s very difficult to discuss with others how this pandemic has a gift at the soul of it, and if we can just flow like water, the gift will come to us. In love 💚🙏🏽😍🌈
I love all your videos and your chanel. I am inspired daily. I don't know if it was intentional but I love that the majority of the people are older or elderly. Society has lost the respect for the elder. Your interviews show the insight and knowledge the elderly have. Only the best can grow old!
I really wish I could afford to contribute, and one day I will, but I want you to know that these are REAL videos, and everyone needs to watch them. This is life, not the crap we see on t.v. This is what life is really like for most people. Thank you so much for this gift.
@Amie Warren - Your words of support and encouragement mean the world to us - more than any contribution ever could! It's great to have you here with us x
Brilliant free soul and so much wisdom in her truthful manner of being present in understanding herself. She is a flowing force of all the ways that she represents by her words,actions, intentions and truth. She is a delightful blessing to behold and to hear from her heart's knowledge. I love this video and the messages of the reality of all of our lives in the world during the covid years of grief and death in our lives. We all need to be present in our lives with appreciation for the beauty and the blessings of being alive. We all are essential. Living with love is always the best way for us to be in contact with the awareness of our heart's desires and our creativity. Thanks for sharing this with us all. Peace and love to all of us and for your kindness in this process of understanding that we are witnessing the importance of each precious moment of our lives.
Absolutely true. It helps to not be led by our emotions, to do painful and honest introspection, and to get us and our problems off our minds and onto God and helping others. Thank you for this.
I was thinking of this earlier this evening Bruce Lee and "Be like water" so to see this here, was a great confirmation of my cosmic conversation. My take on that is to be water, to go with the flow of life don't do the things that feel like they're Upstream if you're fighting anything, struggling with anything including emotions, like anger, resentment or jealousy you are resisting life itself, your birthright and all of its infinite blessings. Otherwise known as the Tao ☯ or Chi. Balance. Non duality. Unity consciousness this is how we save the planet. The river of life is our joy, wonder and well being. All else is illusion. Love light and blessings to all ~ you are worthy! ✨🙏
Cathy almost made me cry - I feel like she touched my soul- said things I couldn't articulate. Ive been very anxious because I don't know what to expect anymore in our nation; our world. Yes, I am grieving life as I know it. On the other hand, being an introvert, the lockdown let me be alone and not feel guilty. I didn't have to find excuses to say no to requests. I felt a burden off my shoulders. Thank-you for your video. God bless you. 🌻🥰
Thank you Robyn for sharing such a personal message with us. Cathy is such an incredible woman, we are so glad that you were able to resonate with her words. We sending you love and strength during this challenging time. Best wishes, Michael and Justine
Thanks for your kind words. Have you watched the other videos with her? 'What's Normal?', ‘Terrified of Our Own Mortality - Death Creates Life’ and ‘No Other Way’ . Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
@@ReflectionsofLife I have, but I meant more in a personal way. I know Cathy from way back and it was such a pleasant surprise to see her on your channel! For a while we ran a food stand together at festival.
How do we reach out to each other, how do we help ? A good place to start is to practice a generosity of spirit...just be there...start small...chat to other people in a supermarket, or in public areas...you will be regarded ad being strange...but persevere...talk about mundane things...the weather ,your pets, your hobbies etc...there is comfort in the mundane...smile (behind your masks), that smile will transfer itself to your eyes and be apparent in the tone of your voice.....that’s a start and then the rest will follow. Help comes in many shapes and forms...a grieving person who just does not have the energy or the will to prepare food for themselves....cook extra and take a tub of food over to them....be there when they need to talk....most of all the attention you give to your pets...make each pat and stroke a meaningful gesture...the love you feel in those moments will bring on the most incredible peace and serenity. We all need to learn to love again.
I live in the suburbs of London. No one talks to each other at all. Not even neighbours, you are lucky if they even look in your direction let alone say hello, it's horrible. No one cares about anyone else anymore.
I love how deep and down to earth she is,I like people who like who they are.They are genuinely calm and wise,no pretension, no desire to be liked or be accepted .It is woderful to listen to her!
I also live in South Africa. On the outskirts of a small Free State village. I'm retired, living alone, and as independent as possible. Going off grid. It'll take a while though. I try to have friends in both the village and in the township. That's hard. Most of my friends live in the township. It's been hard learning to ask for help. Two of my sons live in Joburg. Far for physical help. But I'm given help, and where possible give help. From the village and from the township. Before the virus struck this country I have said that you need to be as independent as possible. If you cook with electricity, keep a gas bottle handy. If you cook with gas have a little paraffin stove. And outside make a rocket stove. Do you depend on water from the municipality Keep a rain water barrel as full as possible Now, it seems to me that it's not just this country, it's the whole world.
Thank you beautiful woman for sharing your wisdom and universal truths. For giving the ultimate answer to now, the opening and connecting of hearts.❤️🧡💚💙💛💜🌈
When she said "Your heart's not broken . . . it's opening . . ." I cried. Boy, did I need those words, and that cry!! Thank you for this amazing, life-changing channel.
Having always been a loner even when around people, this pandemic has given me time to do a lot of grieving, for the grandson I don't see after raising him for years, to my dad who passed away during the busy years of raising my grandson.Its necessary grief, and sometimes there is even joy as I remember games I played with my grandson, and watch horse videos as my dad was a horse whisperer.Cathy has it right, be like water, be part of the flow, sometimes through tears, sometimes through delight.
There’s a teachable moment here that I’m seeing in this about real meaning in life of having a broken heart and healing of the heart. Thank you for sharing this beautiful message!
''What are we? We are nothing but everything.'' Patti, what a beautiful channel ''Be Like Water.'' These words of serenity speak to my soul in such a profound and calming way. Thank you.
@priscilla e pratt - So glad that you found our films and we hope that you continue to enjoy all our content - new film out every two weeks, so be sure to keep tuned in here with us. Much love to you across the seas from South Africa. Justine x
Thank you Cathy for shareing from your heart. I so needed to hear your words. May you be Blessed in your life through this adjusting time as well. May you contiue to have courage to share your special purpose for a such a time as this.
Around 7min she speaks of the hard heart, with the sound of water in the background. So beautiful. Reminded me of this verse ... "Thenceforth were your hearts hardened: They became like a rock and even worse in hardness. For among rocks there are some from which rivers gush forth; others there are which when split asunder send forth water; and others which sink for fear of Allah. And Allah is not unmindful of what ye do." Al-Baqarah - The Cow - 2:74 (Sura: 2, Verse: 74) - Quran
How beautiful this lady shines her light for us all to strive to articulate such truth and wisdom! Thank you for this gift of pure antidote to all that bears down on our souls 💚🧡💜
I was just over by Patti Rxstarmom and subscribed. I just watched the first video 10 yrs. ago and then the lasted one from that women explaining her feelings about this pandemic. What an extraordinary intelligent, humble wise woman! Both videos were outstanding! So glad Patti gave you a shout out! I have a few hours to binge watch the rest. Thank you and God bless to your team from the USA 👍🏻❤️🌍
Such a great video! We are nothing and everything at the same time. Yes, we are all interconnected. The pandemic has just cracked our hearts to let the light in... Thank you
Beautiful, let us create a better world not the world they want for us. .let us rise from this deep grief. I really appreciate this kind woman. Wise soul.
Beautiful words, thanks for sharing. We agree let us rise us from our collective grief. We hope you have a happy week. Best wishes, Justine and Michael
Such a lovely, wise lady. People can be so wrapped up in what they think they want that they don’t stop to think about what they actually need. This pandemic gave us the perfect opportunity to press the pause button and listen to our hearts, to work out what we and the planet actually need, but still people are stamping their feet and starting every sentence with “I want...” Unfortunately most people like to have someone else to blame for things going wrong...if I hear one more person say “It’s not fair”, I’ll scream. We need to look at the bigger picture and “be like water” moving around and over obstacles to find another way.
You are welcome. Thank you for your kind words. Have you watched the other videos with her? 'What's Normal?', ‘Terrified of Our Own Mortality - Death Creates Life’ and ‘No Other Way’. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
‘Our hearts are not breaking - it is opening!’ ❤️ Thank you so much for this powerful life- strengthening and comforting channel! R.E.S.P.EC.T & LOVE to all of you sharing your wisdom and love with us! 🙏🏻 ❤️
And thanks to you Greta, for taking the time to tune in and listen to what Cathy had to share. It's great to have you here with us. Happy Sunday wishes. Justine and Michael 💚
I want to thank all of you involved in these wonderful slices of life. As we have gone through this time I have taken solace just knowing Green Renaissance is available and so generous. I love how Cathy silently touched her heart and spoke with her eyes. Thank you and I am sending love.
Tumbled on your movies two days again and can't stop watching them. Brief, precise, straight to the point, profond, inspiring and motivating. I love its simplicity and closeness to nature, closeness to me. God bless you all.
Thank you Mirabelle, for these beautiful words of deep appreciation. We hope that you enjoy many more of the 200+ films already shared... and we're working on still so much more to come, so keep tuned in right here with us. Sending you love. Justine and Michael 💚
Wow !! What an uplifting video. Blessings to all associated with this piece. Thank you for your talents, gifts, wisdom, and most of all sharing with the world. From my heart to yours ...from my spark to yours, Namaste.
Wow, thank you Elisa - we so appreciate your very kind words. We hope to bring you many more films. Have a beautiful week. Sorry for the late reply. Best wishes, Michael and Justine
No truer words have been spoken. We are connected! "We are nothing, but everything..." Brilliant. Open your hearts and minds enough to help each other!
I came over from Patti Rxstmom! This was amazing ! You are amazing! I'm hooked ! I've listen 3 times! Humbled is a great word as someone stated on here ! We need you! Love you and ur content ! Barb 💕 You should be picked up for a TV series! We all need you 🙏
@Take Control Beauty - Oh WOW. Thanks for seeing the value in the sharing of these personal stories. Keep tuned in because we've still got so much more to share x
I think this is the most poignant short film you have made yet and I have watched nearly all of them. It's very interesting that you released it today as earlier when I was in deep thought, I was trying to pinpoint exactly what was going on in my heart in other words the emotional changes that have come from all of this in in your film and the lovely woman says that our hearts have cracked open and that they were all hard. Well I must agree. Even myself a very soft person when looking deeply must admit that I have a shell of hardness which needs to be cracked open to get to the goodness inside. Since the pandemic began I believed in my heart that it is a movement for good for the Earth and that it is a divine inspiration to change people to love each other more to have empathy and compassion for each other. And I think that you've captured all of this in this beautiful short film. Indeed, let us be like water. ❤️
Such a beautiful soul and her voice carries you on a journey of wisdom, kindness, humility and honesty……if we can all smile, dance and laugh together before we become dust 🙏☀️⭐️and plant more trees 🌱
this channel is like therapy

@Amie Warren - Your words of support and encouragement mean the world to us - more than any contribution ever could! It's great to have you here with us x
I love her. She is so wise about life and death and so many things. I could listen to her all day.
Thanks and thanks again,nice words and nice people from the heard
Such a pleasure Mari - glad that you enjoyed this story.
Warm hugs. Justine and Michael 💚
Brilliant free soul and so much wisdom in her truthful manner of being present in understanding herself. She is a flowing force of all the ways that she represents by her words,actions, intentions and truth. She is a delightful blessing to behold and to hear from her heart's knowledge. I love this video and the messages of the reality of all of our lives in the world during the covid years of grief and death in our lives. We all need to be present in our lives with appreciation for the beauty and the blessings of being alive. We all are essential. Living with love is always the best way for us to be in contact with the awareness of our heart's desires and our creativity. Thanks for sharing this with us all. Peace and love to all of us and for your kindness in this process of understanding that we are witnessing the importance of each precious moment of our lives.
Absolutely true. It helps to not be led by our emotions, to do painful and honest introspection, and to get us and our problems off our minds and onto God and helping others. Thank you for this.
Thanks for seeing the value in the sharing of these stories Shauna.
May you continue to be blessed.
With kind wishes to you. Justine and Michael
Lovely way to start my morning with this wise and kind woman.
What a wonderful person. Thank you for these heartwarming videos.
Thanks for these words of support for both Cathy, and for the films that we share.
Warm hugs to you. Justine and Michael 💚
You movies are so beautifully made. When I watch them, they bring me a lot of joy. Thank you for creating.
Glad you like them! And thanks for joining us on this journey 💚
I was thinking of this earlier this evening Bruce Lee and "Be like water" so to see this here, was a great confirmation of my cosmic conversation. My take on that is to be water, to go with the flow of life don't do the things that feel like they're Upstream if you're fighting anything, struggling with anything including emotions, like anger, resentment or jealousy you are resisting life itself, your birthright and all of its infinite blessings. Otherwise known as the Tao ☯ or Chi. Balance. Non duality. Unity consciousness this is how we save the planet. The river of life is our joy, wonder and well being. All else is illusion. Love light and blessings to all ~ you are worthy! ✨🙏
@Cherie dancing tree - so beautifully said. thanks for sharing x
@@ReflectionsofLife you are most welcome merci beaucoup to you as well 🙏
Cathy almost made me cry - I feel like she touched my soul- said things I couldn't articulate. Ive been very anxious because I don't know what to expect anymore in our nation; our world. Yes, I am grieving life as I know it. On the other hand, being an introvert, the lockdown let me be alone and not feel guilty. I didn't have to find excuses to say no to requests. I felt a burden off my shoulders. Thank-you for your video. God bless you. 🌻🥰
Thank you Robyn for sharing such a personal message with us. Cathy is such an incredible woman, we are so glad that you were able to resonate with her words.
We sending you love and strength during this challenging time.
Best wishes,
Michael and Justine
It's good to see and hear you Cathy.
Thanks for your kind words.
Have you watched the other videos with her? 'What's Normal?', ‘Terrified of Our Own Mortality - Death Creates Life’ and ‘No Other Way’ . Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
@@ReflectionsofLife I have, but I meant more in a personal way. I know Cathy from way back and it was such a pleasant surprise to see her on your channel! For a while we ran a food stand together at festival.
in welchem land leben diese menschen? alle videos zeigen eine wunderschöne landschaft.
ich lebe in einem teil deutschlands, nahe der franz. grenze.
How do we reach out to each other, how do we help ? A good place to start is to practice a generosity of spirit...just be there...start small...chat to other people in a supermarket, or in public areas...you will be regarded ad being strange...but persevere...talk about mundane things...the weather ,your pets, your hobbies etc...there is comfort in the mundane...smile (behind your masks), that smile will transfer itself to your eyes and be apparent in the tone of your voice.....that’s a start and then the rest will follow. Help comes in many shapes and forms...a grieving person who just does not have the energy or the will to prepare food for themselves....cook extra and take a tub of food over to them....be there when they need to talk....most of all the attention you give to your pets...make each pat and stroke a meaningful gesture...the love you feel in those moments will bring on the most incredible peace and serenity. We all need to learn to love again.
@Elise Lange - LOVE LOVE LOVE this message. We agree, wholeheartedly x
🌹 I got a newborn granddaughter. Her name is AMARIS. All Glory belongs to YaHuAH forever.
Beautiful words.More power to you 👍
I live in the suburbs of London. No one talks to each other at all. Not even neighbours, you are lucky if they even look in your direction let alone say hello, it's horrible. No one cares about anyone else anymore.
THE 2 GREATEST COMMANDS ....".LOVE THE ONE TRUE GOD AND OUR NIEGHBORS " peace everyone hug connie
Blessings and peace to you as well.
Have a beautiful weekend.
Sorry for the late reply.
Best wishes,
Michael and Justine.
I love how deep and down to earth she is,I like people who like who they are.They are genuinely calm and wise,no pretension, no desire to be liked or be accepted .It is woderful to listen to her!
This woman’s ability to dig deep and express her thoughts and inner visions makes me think that she could write a book on what she is telling us.
@Marie Lucier - You're not the first person to suggest this idea of writing a book. And we agree - she should!
Wisdom........... This woman is full of wisdom. She is so wonderful and all her words are so true!
💚
I also live in South Africa. On the outskirts of a small Free State village.
I'm retired, living alone, and as independent as possible. Going off grid. It'll take a while though.
I try to have friends in both the village and in the township. That's hard.
Most of my friends live in the township.
It's been hard learning to ask for help. Two of my sons live in Joburg. Far for physical help.
But I'm given help, and where possible give help. From the village and from the township.
Before the virus struck this country I have said that you need to be as independent as possible.
If you cook with electricity, keep a gas bottle handy.
If you cook with gas have a little paraffin stove.
And outside make a rocket stove.
Do you depend on water from the municipality Keep a rain water barrel as full as possible
Now, it seems to me that it's not just this country, it's the whole world.
💚
Such an eye opening message. I wish everyone can hear this message. Thank you for sharing this to us.
@charlie malinis - Thanks for seeing the value in the sharing of these stories x
Thank you beautiful woman for sharing your wisdom and universal truths. For giving the ultimate answer to now, the opening and connecting of hearts.❤️🧡💚💙💛💜🌈
@Soosan Suryawan - And thanks to you for allowing her story into YOUR heart x
Somehow these videos keeps finding me when I need them ❤️
When she said "Your heart's not broken . . . it's opening . . ." I cried. Boy, did I need those words, and that cry!!
Thank you for this amazing, life-changing channel.
Thank you Sabrina, for allowing her words to touch your heart so deeply.
Warm hugs. Justine and Michael 💚
Having always been a loner even when around people, this pandemic has given me time to do a lot of grieving, for the grandson I don't see after raising him for years, to my dad who passed away during the busy years of raising my grandson.Its necessary grief, and sometimes there is even joy as I remember games I played with my grandson, and watch horse videos as my dad was a horse whisperer.Cathy has it right, be like water, be part of the flow, sometimes through tears, sometimes through delight.
@KA Layne - So beautifully said, and we send much love to you as you ebb and flow x
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you, and to you. These videos are gentle and provocative, humble and inspiring. They bring me joy.
I feel the loneliness, peace, sorrow and healing in this video. Everything is so beautiful!
Thank you for opening your heart to it ALL!
Justine and Michael 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you ❤️
There’s a teachable moment here that I’m seeing in this about real meaning in life of having a broken heart and healing of the heart. Thank you for sharing this beautiful message!

💚
Wisdom personified!!! What a lovely awakened soul! Thank you!
💚
Around 7min she speaks of the hard heart, with the sound of water in the background. So beautiful. Reminded me of this verse ... "Thenceforth were your hearts hardened: They became like a rock and even worse in hardness. For among rocks there are some from which rivers gush forth; others there are which when split asunder send forth water; and others which sink for fear of Allah. And Allah is not unmindful of what ye do."
Al-Baqarah - The Cow - 2:74 (Sura: 2, Verse: 74) - Quran
Beautiful words - thanks for sharing.
Thanks to these hard times we can grow. Our heart, our soul.. we have possibility to be more human ❤️

I was just over by Patti Rxstarmom and subscribed. I just watched the first video 10 yrs. ago and then the lasted one from that women explaining her feelings about this pandemic. What an extraordinary intelligent, humble wise woman! Both videos were outstanding! So glad Patti gave you a shout out! I have a few hours to binge watch the rest. Thank you and God bless to your team from the USA 👍🏻❤️🌍
@Lana Jackson - so glad that you've found us. And with over 180+ films so far, you've got a lot of catching up to do. xx
Just beautiful. A beautiful message. Such honesty and wisdom in unexpected places. So grateful for GR.
@Lisa Irwin - Thanks for always tuning in to listen x
Tears. She's amazing.
Such a great video! We are nothing and everything at the same time. Yes, we are all interconnected. The pandemic has just cracked our hearts to let the light in... Thank you
💚
Every Adversity There is A Seed Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.
So true...
Beautiful, let us create a better world not the world they want for us. .let us rise from this deep grief. I really appreciate this kind woman. Wise soul.
Beautiful words, thanks for sharing.
We agree let us rise us from our collective grief.
We hope you have a happy week.
Best wishes,
Justine and Michael
Such a lovely, wise lady. People can be so wrapped up in what they think they want that they don’t stop to think about what they actually need. This pandemic gave us the perfect opportunity to press the pause button and listen to our hearts, to work out what we and the planet actually need, but still people are stamping their feet and starting every sentence with “I want...” Unfortunately most people like to have someone else to blame for things going wrong...if I hear one more person say “It’s not fair”, I’ll scream. We need to look at the bigger picture and “be like water” moving around and over obstacles to find another way.
@The other Alys - SO beautifully said! 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife 💚
Cathy Winter deserves her place as a highly respected and gifted spiritual teacher. Thank you Cathy. Thank you Green Renaissance.
You are welcome. Thank you for your kind words. Have you watched the other videos with her? 'What's Normal?', ‘Terrified of Our Own Mortality - Death Creates Life’ and ‘No Other Way’. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
We have been forced to open our hearts, unintentionally and "being like water" is in the forgiveness for those who forced us.
‘Our hearts are not breaking - it is opening!’ ❤️
Thank you so much for this powerful life- strengthening and comforting channel! R.E.S.P.EC.T & LOVE to all of you sharing your wisdom and love with us! 🙏🏻 ❤️
And thanks to you Greta, for taking the time to tune in and listen to what Cathy had to share. It's great to have you here with us.
Happy Sunday wishes. Justine and Michael 💚

Thank you Green Renaissance 💚
@Nidhi K - So glad that her story resonated so deeply with you x

You should be picked up for a TV series! We all need you 🙏
@Take Control Beauty - Oh WOW. Thanks for seeing the value in the sharing of these personal stories. Keep tuned in because we've still got so much more to share x
I think this is the most poignant short film you have made yet and I have watched nearly all of them. It's very interesting that you released it today as earlier when I was in deep thought, I was trying to pinpoint exactly what was going on in my heart in other words the emotional changes that have come from all of this in in your film and the lovely woman says that our hearts have cracked open and that they were all hard. Well I must agree. Even myself a very soft person when looking deeply must admit that I have a shell of hardness which needs to be cracked open to get to the goodness inside. Since the pandemic began I believed in my heart that it is a movement for good for the Earth and that it is a divine inspiration to change people to love each other more to have empathy and compassion for each other. And I think that you've captured all of this in this beautiful short film. Indeed, let us be like water.
❤️
@Trinity Wright - Oh WOW - a truly beautiful message. Thanks for sharing this here with us. x
