When I think about connection, I think about intersubjectivity. I think about the human capacity to pierce beyond the veil of individuation and to enter the Holy other, to blast new tunnels between the mind and the other. We resist. We refuse to live alone inside of our own minds. Instead, we crave an intersubjective ecstasy. We crave a crossing over. We create cinema that allows us to experience a deictic shift, to enter the subjectivity, the interiority of another person. That's why cinema is an engine of empathy, because it allows you to enter that something else that someone else that's somewhere else to pierce the veil that separates us from one another. To enter a kind of technologically mediated Buddhism, to create an Internet that links together billions of minds, transcending time, space and distance, Collapsing geography all becomes one. What is within, becomes without. This is kind of wonderful, right? When I think about connections, I think about understanding, which is Carl Sagan says is a kind of ecstasy, so that with comprehension comes meaning comes signification. That's what I think about when I think about connection.
Wellness Wednesdays is a collection of short films released each week that elevate self-care and mental health with breathtaking cinematography that celebrate the beauty of our world, fostering gratitude and togetherness.

Patience or trust is really waiting for the right season. Like surfing. You don't just get on your board and paddle. You wait for the right moment in the wave.
