This is a documentary made by Kent. I was tempted to watch the first minutes because I have some “hands on” experience with people with a mental disability. And are always positively amazed how they life their life. After the first minutes I forgot time and saw the whole thing.
Commenting the following:
You got me for a full hour and it felt just minutes. Was a real pleasure to see loving people enjoying each others company. Maybe it is false sentiment, but it made my eyes go watery. Great stuff.

For me she is stating the obvious.
It’s wonderful she wants to make people aware and I hope she will.
But the question is why aren’t people aware anymore? Why are we being alienated from the nature that surrounds us and we are dependent on?

I remember from my childhood that I learned something about the ecosystem and how it works but it was related to the systems and from a science point of view. Instead they should lay more emphasis on our part in nature where we fit in and what our responsibilities are.

We lost something as we gained more control over our environment. We lost the sense of dialog with nature. We need to feel what we are doing to it and us. Because we should be, like she said, and are connected to our planet.

I’ve been looking over your shoulders for quite a while now. And I feel now is the time for a more extensive comment.

I’m no Buddhist nor have I read any books about it. But I notice I lean towards it quite a bit. Every time I see one of your interviews (or the more personal video’s for that matter) I find a lot of recognition within myself and am amazed by the positive energy we all long for (every religion I know off, thrives on that). The big difference is that most people put the ultimate responsibility (hope) with that higher power they have to obey through a book to achieve that. I tend to see this as escapism and tunnel vision, although I try hard to keep an open mind.

Buddhism tells me it’s the power within you and wants to make you more aware of that and the world around you. Finding inner peace / truth and giving you the ability to connect again.
From the moment I became conscientiously aware of life I wondered why we as humans have so many conflicts. My conclusion time and time again is that we have become disconnected with that what binds everything.
We humans, as I, desperately try to reconnect. As history and present tells us we are still lost.

As I go along my path I find Buddhism quite close and walking in the same direction. I like the company.

(please correct me if I’m wrong)
