giving thanks.


let there be light

shooting in the bathroom

on the set

matt filming

i spent the last four days shooting a short ten minute film. and so when i said i was heading into the belly of the beast of fear--it was in the best possible way. a really, really good forward (albeit, sometimes terrifying) movement. 

and when it was all said and done, and as i took the long subway home from queens, i thought, i have no words for this. it was not the failure of words, nor their inadequacy--simply the absence of them. it was a calm and peace and utter stillness--a gratitude that filled me, of such depth as i've never felt before. gratitude for the countless mistakes and failures that led me to this moment. gratitude for a story that was not easy or simple and certainly not over.

when you can experience something that all at once makes you satisfied and hungry for more--- you've reached a place in this life that most people only dream about.

So exciting! I can't wait to find out even more about it :)

And that absence-of-words-because-you're-all-filled-up-with-gratitude-and-there's-no-room-for-anything-else feeling?

The. Best.

Yesterday you told us that your friend had said you lead an "interesting" life. Based on all of your blog posts recently, and especially this one, I would argue that it's not "interesting," but rather really, really exciting. So much growth, so much forward momentum. Thanks for taking us along on the journey!

I was wondering what you were referring to....but I'm so glad you ended up happy with it all and proud of yourself. Stillness is underrated, isn't it?
