Set up camp on the front step of each moment and always say ‘yes’ to the present moment.
I’ve met and crossed paths with many inspirational people, i have also stayed friends with few of my high school friends, all these people will forever be my long-life friends. As we age and mature, I’ve learnt to grow gracefully and gratefully alongside people you can laugh with.
Over the long weekend, we set up camp on the front step of a river bank, each moment along the rive with these people were a memorable one. Friends who bring out the best in you should be cherished, nothing in this world is more perfect than surrounding yourself with people you are able to be yourself with and together love to watch the world go by. Being unconscious of the terrible situations that are happening around us and the world. The horrible human acts are closed off from exposure and for a short time, the escape into the wilderness escorted by good people is indispensable.
Moral of this story; take a walk away from the busy life into the nurturing space of mother natures arms. Enjoy the disagreements, laughter, tears, stories and connections that come when you share a long history with the close friends. Be grateful for all that was, all that is, and all that is to come.

So this is going to sound Crazy, but part of why i've been so inactive lately has been because I was lucky enough to have been selected alongside 6 of my friends in Animation to get shipped out to Winton, Australia to spend a 2 weeks making an animated short for their Vision Splendid film festival.
Together, we got to work with locals, film students, Student composers, festival hosts and first nations elders to create a collection of Animated Haikus celebrating this wonderful town, but get to know ourselves and this country in a way we never even would have considered before.
And as if that wasn't enough to make us jump up and down, flapping out hands in joy... guys... We won the Kolperi Award! A first for animation in the entire 11 year history of the festival!
So thank you thank you thank you for everyone who made it possible for me and my friends to experience Winton. It's something i'll be treasuring for the rest of my days.
