- “The trees do not hold on to dead leaves but lose them in order to create room for new ones. We can learn from this, by letting go of the past and focusing on the now. We cannot change the past but we can make the present and future brighter and better, not bitter.” ~ Kemi Sogunle
If you're going through a painful time in your life, know that it is never worthless. These tough times teach you to see possibilities that you would never have fathomed in the comfortable moments.
Let us refuse to be held back by pain or sorrow. Let us overcome. Let us learn to breathe life into ourselves again. Let us step into a way of living that is magical, so we can wake up each morning feeling grateful, generous and free.
Filmed in Suurbraak, South Africa.

When a man stops an interview to open the door to his cat, you know you're gonna love listening to what he has to say. Thank you for all these lovely videos with beautiful people 🙏
Our pleasure. Lovely comment regarding opening the door for the cat. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Yes, so true!
indeed!!
My thought exactly.
Not going to lie but I think most if not everyone would do that
As I always say, these videos are like a reset on my brain, always forcing me to breathe and bring me back to where I belong. I get so emotional watching these beautiful works of art. I wish I could sit down and have a cup of tea with every single person in each of these videos, sharing life stories and wisdom. This channel is so necessary and I try to share it with everyone I know. Thank you so much for the important work you are doing for the world. ❤️
@Ellary Rose, I couldn't agree more❤💛💚
Thank you so very much Ellary 💚 your words mean the world to us! We really appreciate the shares :-)
Love, Justine and Michael
Ten or eleven moments of healing,
straight in to the heart
Those wounds we carry do not let go,and this beautiful man says and shows we can heal, love,and move on,"just do it"..l am learning from all the stories you bring to us,so so inspiring , thank you so much.
@@ramashkolnik9713 I agree, we can all let go and heal ourselves with the right mindset and attitude👍👍
❤❤❤💚
I totally relate. I was tormented by my drunken stepfather from 5 to 17. My mother never protected me. At 17 I joined the Army. The Army transformed the anger and hate and transformed me into a man capable of extreme violence. At 27 I was an alcoholic and passively suicidal. I left the Army did a 180 and became a nurse. I met a woman who saved me. She helped me untangle my jumbled up past one string at a time. Now at 58, I'm grateful for life, family, and the gift of life. I love this channel and stories/wisdom that it brings. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing some of your story Scott 💚 How wonderful that you chose to grab your life with both hands and transform it! Much love, Michael and Justine
Ha same as me 😮
Beautiful story and journey
Wow…thank you for sharing this. 🙏🏼❤
Love your story of triumph sir 🤝
“The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.” Khalil Gibran
Thank you for sharing this quote. This goes deep. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Absolutely TRUE! I can tell you from my own experience! Thank you for sharing this beautiful quote!
☮️💜✨🙏
Absolutley love Girban. Beautiful!
I literally had a magnet that said this, I threw it away because I was scared my mom would die...she's dead but I always thought I wish I could remember it..thank you
Ohhh this was one of my favourite quotes. Thank you for reminding me of it 🙏
Bless us all who have traumas...Let us heal and move forward and stop carrying the burden
Yes. What does not kill You, makes You stronger but never let the negative experience to ruin your or others lives.
@@igorbukovy4313 i hope so. I just beat myself why i am not strong enough
We agree Chris - we are in a new world now, where people are speaking out, being heard, and letting go 💚
Love Justine and Michael
@@mitch5222 the fact that you are here says you are a lot stronger than what you give yourself credit for 😌👏
@@nancy6170 thanks. Means a lot.
When you see a healed person it is art. The recreation of each of us by difficulty is so often unfinished leaving us damaged. This man speaks to his inner boy as I wish to. I may always struggle to forgive but I will always understand. I will roll with the punches and not fight the world. Thank you so much for sharing this man's words and a part of his world 🌎 ❤️. It really made me happy and a little more whole.
We agree 💚 just like kintsugi - the broken becomes whole, and so much more beautiful than the original 💚 Wishing you well on your healing journey! Much love, Michael and Justine
Very fine comment. Yes, suffering and recognising it is our own mind we have to deal with, is essential in order to be conscious about our thoughts and feelings ! I still practise and wil go on Till the day I die ! We can all be less ego and much more being. I also loved this great man. He really have done a great job. Blessings ❤🦋🌳
And know, that you can forgive and you can let it hurt, you can let your heart feel broken. From this come gifts and subtle and extraordinary insights. We are never who and what we think we are. The gifts are there in the ashes after the fires have abated.
You are never not whole. You are never not awake even in your darkest moments.
My heart goes out to him. He is a good and decent man. Sometimes we have to "hit rock bottom" in order to manifest our purpose. And we must always question and challenge authority figures and gauge their appetite for power.
"They walk around with their wound and carry it as if that's the person that they are..." That hit me right between the eyes. Thank you to this gracious man. Peace.
We are glad Kent's message was meaningful. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael.💚
I so related to the same sentence
"What am I not grateful for? There's nothing that I'm not grateful for." These words made my heart bloom!
That is so wonderful. It is so nice when one can honestly say that one is grateful. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
you helped me ❤️ this 11 minutes are better than 100 hours of therapy. what a wonderful and kind soul ❤️
Ah dear Barbara, thank you for your kind comment 💚 we are so happy that this film has helped you!
Much love, Justine and Michael
Absolutely agree. For me, it's seeing proof that there is actually hope for humanity.
Me too ! 💙🕊💙 this was so healing . Thank you to this good man and thank you to Green Renaissance. Your camera work is breath taking 🤩
💖 You nailed it!
Much better than ANY THERAPY💲💰
Period 💖
Couldn’t put in better words ❤
“Sometimes we really have to hit rock bottom before we turn around”. So true, it hit hard!
Funny thing that, isn't it, about human nature 💚 but in so doing we become stronger and happier!
Michael and Justine
yeah.
As a survivor of childhood sexual trauma I find this video deeply moving. It is time for all of us to recognize how much trauma there is in the world and that both women and men have had such experiences. This channel really is precious.
Thank you for sharing Curtis 💚 we agree with you completely - there should be no secrets or stigma attached to any trauma - let's build a new world together, Justine and Michael
You are precious too Curtis. Yea, there really are so many of us wounded by our childhoods and by listening to these stories helps a lot , to release our own pain , and see the beauty in all of life. Thanks guys , this channel is inspirational.
Most courageous man ever. I'd wish him the best, but he already has it.
Thanks so much Jenna for your kindness and compassion 💚
This is one of the most beautiful testimonies I've ever heard. It touched me profoundly. How brave and courageous it is to set one's mind upon healing and then do it! I'm moved to tears and moved to stand in ovation to you and to every one of us who are seeking love, peace, and gratitude after childhood trauma. God bless you!
Thank you so much for your beautiful, meaningful words 💚 Much love, Justine and Michael
Profound response! Thank you
Thank you. The rape at sixteen finally doesn’t define me at 72. I cried when I saw this video. When one gets on the other side of the trauma, then we can truly be who we are meant to be. No you have helped one person, man, and I am grateful for your kindness and love.
It's an absolute pleasure to have shared this video with you. We can imagine that this touched you deeply. So sorry you went through this experience but so thankful you eventually managed to put it behind you and be 'You'. Wishing you all the best on your further walk through life and sending you much love. Justine and Michael. 💚
Peace
❤
I waited until Christmas Day to watch this video, and I’m so glad I did. As a trauma survivor in the midst of ‘awakening’ I often feel alone. But when I watch these films I am comforted knowing my tribe is out there. So while I am alone physically on this day, I know that I am not alone in life. Michael and Justine, please know this work you do, these stories being told by these brave and beautiful people are opening hearts and minds everywhere. And that is what Christmas is about. ✨🕊
Scott, thank you so much for your deeply moving and meaningful words 💚 Thank you for sharing a little slice of your life - please do keep coming back for more! Wishing you all the best as you come to terms with, and move on with your journey - sending you much love, Michael and Justine 💚
Wishing you all the best for 2022. I trust it will be an amazing year for you.
Hope your keeping well Scott.Take care and blessings to you.
I hope this message finds you well.
U are never really alone dear fr Scott be happy in your own thoughts be kind to one self I'm Lucy Colgan from Ireland just felt I had to write these few kind words to u bless u
Best line that touched me" THE PURPOSE OF BEING"Which is fading away from people these days.We all shouldn't forget that life is too short to be unhappy i hope everyone who is reading this carries a big smile on their face 😄.
Yes, people are very distracted these days and don't make time to be still, reflect and figure out what really makes them tick 💚 We hope that you, too, carry a smile all weekend long!
Justine and Michael
@Daksh: YES, thank you for it 😀😀😁🤗
This comment did make me smile. Thank you! 😊
Kent’s message, and his "presence of being" is so powerful and inspiring it almost takes your breath away. To be grateful for everything; wow, so much easier said than done! But it rings true when Kent says it; doesn’t seem like just words for the camera. So many of us with so much more seem to struggle with finding that gratitude. Kent's a survivor, but he seems to not only have survived, but thrived. He only hints at some of the things he’s gone through to get to the place of joy, acceptance, and gratitude he’s at today. The journey was no doubt tough, but he made it. Makes me think of the quote by Winston Churchill, “when you’re going through hell, keep going.”
Thank you for your inspiring words Jeffrey 💚 "When the going gets tough, then the tough get going" - here's hoping we all find the strength to push on through and emerge in wisdom and peace!
Michael and Justine
Many people admiring successful and rich and famous people, and im here not a single second have an admiration to those kind of people. Instead i look into ordinary people, who hidden behind this glamorous world, who've been throught so much in this life and find peace in small little things.
Thank you for sharing these words Tulisku, we are glad Kent's message resonated with you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Well put, so needed in a mislead world
I also have these same beliefs and thoughts ❤
It is so very hard to meet people like that in this world I mean very hard to meet anybody that is good clean and God like
Wow your words nailed it. I also believe that we put people on pedestals, but the real unsung heroes are the ordinary people making a difference and even without anybody knowing it.
Healing is a decision, grateful for this person to share his love of humanity 🙏
It is indeed 💚 thanks for watching Jenny, Love Michael and Justine
That's it. It's so simple that's is unbelievably hard. That's where faith connects it all.
His smile is the reflection of his beautiful soul ✨
Thank you Amruta 💚 it truly is!
And his eyes.. they're sparkling with life 💫
@@OnyxMoon81 Absolutely ✨
"I will not let those things define me". Beautiful man, gorgeous heart 💖
Absolutely 💚 He really is! Thank you for watching 💚
The cinematography is wonderful, the music is wonderful, the people are inspiring ❤️
Thanks very much, we appreciate your kind and encouraging words. Justine and Michael. 💚
The calm in his voice. what he was saying. Just brought me to a state of gratitude, relaxation, happines
That's wonderful 💚 now you know where to come back to for a 10min meditation. Much love, Michael and Justine
I carry mental childhood trauma as well. Now as I age, I have physical trauma to deal with. These videos help me. Thank you, Green Renaissance for taking the time to make them .👉
You are so welcome, and we are humbled to hear that our films are helping you - that really makes our day! You inspire us to keep on doing what we do 💚 Sending you much love, healing, happiness and peace,
Michael and Justine
@@ReflectionsofLife To you as well...
Reaching out to you and sending a virtual hug. Praying that you find balance and serenity and will not permit your traumas to define you.
@@JF-kv1gm thank you
Oh my goodness!! The messages of these videos are truly like cups of cool water to a thirsty soul! Just as with all the others, I will watch over and over this beautiful man share his life wisdom because I simply can’t take it all in at one watching! Being grateful for past suffering because it empowers us 🥺
Such wisdom and so true!! Thank you for sharing another wonderful beautiful soul with us 🙏
Thank you for your lovely message Cheryl 💚 Embracing with gratitude any mistakes that we may make is another similar way to grow in strength, instead of feeling guilt, shame or being defensive - life is wonderful when we turn our emotions on their heads!
Much love, Justine and Michael
I was scrolling procrastinating until I got caught by the first images of this wonderfully crafted interview. Well done for the cat.
I watched and listened to the wise man. It helped me get back on tracks to where I wanted to go with my writings. A child with manliness still capable of seeing the Beauty of a flower he'd seen a hundred Times that's who I long to be. Helping myself and others to find and spread peace and love IS my purpose.
One thing I'm graceful to Life for today is this video.
We are so thankful that you came across this video today and that it touched you so deeply. Your words are beautiful and deep. Maybe you can find more videos that speak to you. All the best with your writings. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thanks for taking time for bringing me a kind and self-esteem building answer. I'ts aligned with the feeling of connection with my inner self and life mission that descended on me watching the video.
A quick overview of your work gave me the impression of discovering a treasure on a "remote isolated island". I will further explore your channel, can't wait to connect with "Slow Living", "Be Creative", "Sois comme l'eau" and of course, "Fais ce que tu aimes".
Thank you for dedicating your life on spreading the good news. It's powerful and it works.
I want to serve the same goal of being helpfull to me and others through my work.
The world is a better place because these films exist. Thank you for pointing us in the direction of the good in life.
Thanks so much Christopher 💚 keep your compass trained on your True North, Michael and Justine
He’s so aware of his life and what the meaning of life is. Thank you for the usual Saturday calm 💚
Aaah thank you for watching, and writing 💚 it is a big pleasure to keep on creating, and we love that we are part of your Saturday routine!
Much love, Justine and Michael
I wish this man was my neighbour.
That would be wonderful 💚
Love your neighbor as yourself.@@ReflectionsofLife
He is...
@marianfrances4959 you get it.
What an absolutely beautiful man. His smile is LOVE, he is love. He literally exudes it. This is what humanity and being human is really about. How absolutely stunning, I’m so blessed to have come across this. Thank you.
So glad that this story resonated with you. Thanks for opening your heart and mind to all that he shared with us. Sending warm hugs. Justine and Michael 💚
My little boy is still alive today. He had it rough, but at the point the choice to live or die came, I chose to keep him alive, no matter what. I take care of him, I nurture him, and I give to him, what he is missing. He still yearns to know the why ?? And I don't have those answers, and I don't think we will ever know why, but I have pieced together all the information I have to paint him the partial picture of the why. This message is poignant. Yes, I am grateful every day that I wake up, because that little boy gets another day to see the world.
Deep and touching words. Yes, keep that little boy alive as much as you can. Wishing you all the best for every day, much joy, healing and happiness for you and the inner child. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
" I'm definitely not defined by my childhood experiences"
Thanks for having reminded me this simple thing.
So grateful 🙏❤️
Thank you Angela for highlighting this 💚 it is a simple statement but so incredibly powerful and deep. Much love from us to you, Justine and Michael
Thank you so so much for sharing his story with us.💚Fell in love with him the moment he got up to open the door for his cat. His words filled my eyes with tears, and my heart, with gratitude. I know how it feels like to hide the pain. How helpless it is when we cannot see a reason to be happy. But later, I found how beautiful this life is. The more we get, the less we see. The less we get, the more we see.😊🌼 Simplicity is the best way to happiness. Giving is the best thing that can bring us happiness. Loving is the best thing that exists in this world. Life can be so beautiful when we let go. This man's words inspired me in a way that words cannot explain. Hats off for Green Renaissance. This channel is an eye-opener. Hope we all can find that inner peace within ourselves.❤🌸
@M R: Thank you for your beautiful words that brought tears to my eyes... 😢🤗💕
This mans words inspired me as well🤗I'm grateful to read your comments- they were so beautifully put. Its wonderful to know others can see these lovely videos and cherish the messages as much as I do. It is hard to type with tears in my eyes though😉🌎💞
@@micheleroth1091, Thank you.😊 It's cuz of those tears that I admire this channel so much.
@M R thank you for your beautiful words 💚 Let go, and let be 💚 May you find happiness always!
Love Justine and Michael
I loved him too when he got up for the cat,the love in his eyes.
"Human beings are really beautiful when we get past all of our stuff." 🥰 I have so many similarities with this guy and if there's anything I've learnt in life is that what matters most is how we deal with what happens to us, both good and bad. 🙂😊
Thank you for sharing. 💚
Beautiful story. ‘Help people to feel good about themselves’ - our world needs that ❤
Glad his words meant much to you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Every single word he is saying is touching my heart. His presence is a blessing for the world. Always appreciate for this channel. 🙏 thank you so much!
Wow, thank you so very much for your lovely comment 💚 you are absolutely right - his presence is indeed a blessing 💚
Much love, Justine and Michael

Thank you for watching our videos Cordula. We rely on volunteers to create the subtitles for us and they are not always able to provide them (in time for the release) or we do have nobody creating them for us in a certain language, e.g. Greek. 💚
Thank you for writing to us. Our newer films do have Arabic subtitles jameelah.💚
A great attitude towards life...not allowing past trauma to define you and making wise choices to move on to embrace a grateful and free life.
Yes, and he is such a support to others. We are thankful he shared his story with us. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
my Heart!! Speaking so much truth and wisdom. Precious,, thank you.
You are welcome. Glad we could share his words with you. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Green Renaissance, your every single video does not only carry some message or lesson... But every single frame carries healing energy, an array, right from light heartedness to deep cleansing one. The way each video speaks to us is like I am present there personally with that person whose experiences are captured. Great work! Not just the videos. The effort to bring these people to let their experiences speak thru your lenses is really and greatly applaudable
So true! These videos of personal growth and healing testimonies are also healing our souls! Powerful healing he has embraced his life Beautifully!
Thank you so much for your deeply meaningful words Sangeetha 💚 we appreciate the time you have taken to write to us so much! You inspire us to continue with the work that we do, Justine and Michael
That's wonderful Paulina 💚 may the healing continue!
"We really are the creatures of love" We have to make this world beautiful.❤️

Needed to hear that reminder that
‘I can choose not to live like this’
It still seems impossible but gives me hope & faith that I will find a way.
My gratitude to you 🙏
We are glad his message spoke to you, may his words inspire and help you to find a way. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
@@ReflectionsofLife o
thank you 🙏🏼 appreciate that.
i have been through harder times, which i now am grateful for because they gifted me a unique perspective to allow me to view bad days today as a walk in the park!
I don't think I've ever cried from watching a youtube video before. It really hit home when he talked about making a concious choice to find your way back to your true path. Sometimes you can get so caught up with the struggles of life that you don't realise that you have been avoiding dealing with your wounds. Thank you for this!
You are welcome, we are glad his message meant so much to you. Thank you for sharing you thoughts. Sending you warmest of hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
I am fan of your stories so inspiring connected to the nature, human emotions and love.
Thank you Prasanta 💚 we are so glad that you like them!
Such beautiful wisdom about unburdening from our past traumas! Marshall Vian Summers writes about this process of letting go so that we can give our true gifts to the world. "How can you be angry when the world serves you? When you recognize how much the world is serving you, which can only be recognized in the context of Knowledge, you will then end all of your hatred towards the world [and] all of your condemnation... and resistance to the world. This will confirm your true destiny, your true origin and your true purpose for being in the world. You have come into the world to learn and to unlearn. You have come into the world to recognize what is real and what is not. You have come into the world to be a contributor, [which] is the real nature of your presence here." (Steps to Knowledge, Marshall Vian Summers)
Thank you so much, Janice. This quote touched deeply, I need to explore it more.
Thank you Janice 💚 we really love that concept of letting go in order to be able to truly give, thank you for sharing that 💚
The people that are interviewed are wonderful souls. They have such insight. I wished I could be so wise. Thank you for letting us experience such wisdom.
It's a pleasure Marilyn, glad that the videos are so valuable. But people like him surround us all every day actually. It's about making the time to truly listen to each other, with open hearts and minds. Then we discover wonderful things. We all have a story to share if we think about it. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael.💚
I found SO much hope and beauty in Kent's story. I'm so grateful for the people who do the hard work of whatever is being asked of them to heal. Had Kent not been willing to take that journey, he would not have discovered the freedom or the great gift he is offering us here. Thank you so much for giving him the opportunity to tell his story, GR. I will pass this on.
Linda your message is very meaningful to us , thank you for being aware of how important that process is 💚 Thank you for sharing the film, Michael and Justine
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
I would love to sit down with this man, hug his neck, and have a chat.
I needed this today.
Thank you, again, so much.
Thank you so much Mary 💚
Big hugs right back to you!
A beautiful gentle loving soul who I share some similar experiences with. My heart resonates and I realise that as time has gone on in my life, I truly understand my true purpose on the earth. Thank you for lifting my spirits.
Does a person choose to be good or is it in its nature?
Thank you for watching and writing dear Ellie 💚 overcoming our traumas definitely makes us stronger, wiser, and opens our eyes to a so many new possibilities!
Much love from us to you, Justine and Michael
Om. Such a beautiful way to see life. To focus on the good and real. Namaste. Respect.

Ahh yes. Hold on to the child. Help the child to heal the wounds then make sure the child sticks around. Beautiful words. Thank you!
Thank you for highlighting that Cathy 💚 such important words!
What a truly kind and loving soul this man is. I too was so desperately unhappy at school, but as he said, it becomes our journey, it becomes our gift to become a better person. I love Mother Earth and nature. I really do stop and try and wonder at all that is around me, and thank it all that I am here to enjoy the earth's beauty. xxx
We are glad you enjoyed this video with Kent. Wonderful to read that you are able to take in the beautiful things around you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I loved this whole entire video! I love him for saying everything he said, but I especially love that he said “everyone finds it in their own way”. I’ve always, always, always believed that & it means so much to my heart to hear someone say that! Thank you so much for sharing! ☮️💜✨🙏
You are so welcome. we are glad Kent's message and especially those words resonated so much with you. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

Today in the mountains covered with snow I saw a raven sitting on the peak of a dead tree, I stopped and asked it: And what now? Thank you Kent, thank you, not so much for knowing the answer but for shining with it. Sure I will come back to your glow. And thank you Green People behind the scenes. I often wonder: How do you find all of these amazing people and their stories?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and perspective 💚 yes, we are sure that you will return to the glow. All these amazing people are everywhere, one just needs to take the time to slow down, to listen and to have heartfelt conversations. Much love, Michael and Justine

These videos are some of, if not the most human on the internet. I too, share with my friends because they really and truly change you. In what seems to be such an artificial world, it’s so moving to see and hear people of such authenticity and vulnerability.
Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks so much for writing Lee 💚 we wish you lots of love and happiness on your journey! Love, Justine and Michael
Rarely in life I’ve gotten a message ingrained so deeply like this one. It’s not his words and I wasn’t really looking at the video as I got busy … his soul connected to my soul and I listened to what I needed desperately to listen to. I don’t have the right words to express my gratitude for these videos. I know this was for me. Thank you for caring about human beings the way you do. ❤️🙏🏻
What a heartfelt message Almouna! Thank you for your very kind and encouraging words regarding our work, it is such a joy to share these videos. We are so glad that this video with Kent was so meaningful and good for you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

"It allows to all sorts of doors to still swing open for me". What a gr8 mindset!
Absolutely 💚 such a great way to embrace difficulties, setbacks and any negative experience really. Thanks for watching Beatrice!
Love, Justine and Michael
Such a beautiful story, and such a beautiful life. A man who has found the courage and wisdom to live his life - to accept, embrace and learn from and within his own being. Remarkable, inspiring, deeply moving. Who amongst us has not had passages of pain and darkness, particularly in our childhoods? Yet, who amongst us has returned to embrace that darkness in order to live in the light, as this gentle, brave man has? His life is a celebration of living, of gratitude, of awareness and presence.
Thank you to him for illuminating the hope and living a life of profound and gentle meaning. Thank you to you all, once again, for your incredible ability to capture personal stories in such beautiful, respectful and life-changing ways. The photography, the music, the editing - beyond breathtaking and so needed by each of us; by the world itself. We are grateful, so grateful. Justin and Kathleen, USA
Dear Justin and Kathleen,
Thank you so very much for the time taken to write such a beautiful, heart-wrenching comment 💚 Your words are deeply meaningful and so inspiring for us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
Michael and Justine
You've created a beautiful life out of incredibly diffucut circumstances, it's very inspirational. Well done, Kent 👏
Thank you for your kind message. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
His gratitude just resonates off him
Lovely words. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you again for bringing another inspiring story. This tale of a person who made a different choice in his life, coming to what author Wallace Stegner referred to as”Angle of Repose” that would happen to with age and wisdom!
It all make sense about the leaves and the trees. I talk and sing to my plants every day. I have been taking care of them for more than 14 years. Whenever some leaves die and fall I cry than the new ones bloom and grow even more beautifully. I see my life in them. They teach me hope and patience and things that I could not accept about my past. This man is so fragile but yet so strong 💪. I love his words of wisdom.
Thank you for sharing about your lovely relationship with your plants 💚 we are sure that they must be very beautiful because of all that love!
Michael and Justine
@@ReflectionsofLife Michael and Justtine, I want to learn from you. How did you succeed. Your vidéos are beautiful and meaningful. Teach me wisdom.
Carrying around the Wound of my Mums Suicide weighs heavy on my soul, I was 3 years old when she took her life and I'm now in my late 30s and the wound has got harder to deal with the older I get which upsets me massively. This life is beautiful but the dark thoughts are always waiting to resurface and pull me back into myself and it's a daily struggle to see the beauty of this life. Thank you for this video this man seems like a wonderful soul.
We are really saddened and touched by your message. Thank you for sharing, we hope it helped you to write about it. We would wish for you that you could find some healing, some closure. Maybe Kent's words can help you on your way forward. Sending much love and kindness to you, Justine and Michael. 💚
Im 47 on a healing multi month solo camping. Your words are as mine. Nature is healing me.
Sounds wonderful. Enjoy the time. Glad Kent's message resonated with you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
This is probably the most beautiful one yet. This man could be telling my story, but my childhood abuse came from my grandfather. I'm now in my 60's and still trying to figure out my life. His words spoke so deeply to me. Thank you so very much.
Hugs to you! 🦋🌻🌷🌸💕🌟
Hello dear Carol 💚 we are so sorry that you had to endure that when you were a child 💚 sending you much love and wishes for continued healing, Justine and Michael
@@ReflectionsofLife Thank you! Your kind words mean so much. Thank you for what you do!
