Speaking your TRUTH when you're FRUSTRATED and ANGRY at the WORLD

Support us in creating more films like this : / reflectionsoflife
Thank you. Justine & Michael 💚
There comes a moment in life when the quiet murmur of unspoken truths grows too loud to ignore. It starts as a faint flicker, a fragile thought on the edge of awareness, and then builds into something undeniable - a need to give voice to what matters most. The courage to speak out can sometimes feel like a rebellion against the silence that so often surrounds us.
Finding that voice is a powerful act, one that transcends words and becomes a declaration of self. Whether through action, expression, or the simple act of standing firm, it’s a reminder that truth carries the strength to inspire change. It is in daring to speak, to share, that we discover not just our voice, but its ability to ripple outward and connect us all.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth - that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.
In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy.

Dear Everyone - Although I cannot hope to thank each of you personally for your warm and generous comments, I do feel immense gratitude to you all. It makes my heart glad to know that there are so many of you feeling as I do and who are willing to say so. My heartfelt thanks! And to Michael and Justine, whose inspiration and hard work make this channel possible, to say a mere 'thank you' is clearly insufficient. But I say it anyway. They are very special people.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you dearest Harry, for these very special and generous words of kindness. Thank you for sharing your time, your energy and your voice with us. Your words (through this film and your poetry) will continue to touch hearts and minds around the world for a long time. We send our love and gratitude. Justine and Michael 💚

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.... For me, the lesson here is that he listened to his anger, found out what it was trying to tell him, then transformed it. Beautiful ❤

Couldn’t agree more, my meditation today was on sitting with the anger. I am still working on what it is telling me, but I will continue to listen.

[@MadonnaoftheGinkoLeaves]

Last October I lost a dear friend who fiercely fought for her life, and then one day just went quietly into the next. Our group of five former teachers was left with a big void. We had been friends for almost 40 years. The remaining four of us continue to meet each month for lunch. Recently we decided that each time we meet one person will share a poem that is important to them. We share the poetry in tribute to the beauty our friend was in our lives. Poetry is a language I think we can all relate to because we can use it to express a multitude of emotions, especially when words do not come to us.

[@LivingLifeArtistically]

That is a beautiful way to pay tribute. And you are so right, poetry is a verbal artform but like music, movement and visual art it also touches the deeper non-verbal parts of us, inviting authentic feelings and heartfelt inspirations. May you and your close friends experience many more poetic luncheons together!

[@ReflectionsofLife]

We're so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear friend. It’s clear that the bond you and your friends share is deeply meaningful, and the idea of honouring your friend through poetry is such a beautiful tribute. Poetry can help us express feelings that words alone can’t always capture. Wishing you and your group continued support and comfort on your journey together. Justine and Michael x

[@Here4TheHeckOfIt]

Your friend was deeply lucky to have an expanded family with even more people who cared for her. We all die, But anyone who knows they have this kind of love around them, a wealth of friends, people who were always there - I think they go with an exquisite peace. And your group gave that to her. She heard and felt your tributes crossing over.

I recently had my third heart attack in my early sixties. This gentleman is the voice that we all need to listen to; the wisdom, the grace, the elegance, the poetry that can heal all of our hearts in what has become an increasingly mad World.These are the voices that can bring us back to love and to sanity.. I cried much needed tears the whole way through. I choose to turn off the news that would have us live in anger and fear and watch soul feeding videos of healers such as this. Much love to you all. Remember, we all have this inner wisdom and a voice that we can choose to use to make this World just a little less angry.

[@harryowen8803]

I wish you peace and fulfilment.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

We're so touched that the film resonated with you and brought you comfort during such a challenging time.

From the UK. I have loved nature since I was three, but it's a grief to see it being destroyed in this country. However, well over 70 years later I try to tramp over what is left of it and up the hills with my dog, I hope the people of the UK can raise their voices in unison against the erosion of our countryside, traditions, culture and what it is to be English, Welsh, Scotish and Irish,

The first thing i thought when I started listening to Harry was that I liked him. I liked his energy and softness. And then listening to his poems and his delight in Mary Oliver's The Journey was so beautiful to witness. The wisdom or listening. The wisdom of conneting through voice. What a gift to be reminded! Thank you deeply again for offering this rich experience of getting to know all these amazing human beings.

I've listened to this man before, he resonates very deeply for me as we share the same accent. I have had a lifetime of violence and trauma, aged 62 I am feeling the urge to give myself permission to own my voice, maybe share with others. I've convinced myself that no one would wish to hear such trials yet I have spent 30. years attempting to swallow this voice causing more trauma I believe. Thanks for the poetic lines of comfort, understanding and communion. warm regards.

As soon as I’m on the edge to give up on that world, I come here. To listen all these voices and stories, to cry over every word. This anger for mad global path appeared in me recently, around my 30th. I didn’t notice it until my “normal” life was crushed. And here I am. Searching for my voice, teach myself to speak true language for truth. It’s like a awakening from deep delusion. It felt so scary to wake up alone. And it feels so fulfilling to hear all these magic voices of people who already are awake. Thank you. Journey will continue even when we can’t go more. Cause you’ve already shared your voice with others.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you so much for sharing such a deeply honest and moving message. We’re really glad our films have been able to reach you during such a significant time in your life.

In astrology terms, if I may offer my thoughts, you are experiencing your Saturn return, a phase in life when people often experience what you are going through now, around their 30th. Don’t worry, this, too, shall pass, and you will get through this. Baby steps if necessary, but keep going.

[@atticuskilby515]

I have been traveling full time all over the Western US for the past 3 years and this journey has given me the opportunity to meet so many interesting people from all walks of life. In conversation I do not ask, what do you do, but instead ask, what is your passion, what brings you joy, what lights you up? Sadly, I receive a number of blank stares and the reply, I don't know! I think the solution is to return to that inner child because he or she definitely knows. We have just forgotten as we have engaged the many constructs of the "right" way to live and be prosperous. Lovely video, thank you.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Love this! It's amazing how much we can learn by just asking people what truly lights them up. You're absolutely right-sometimes we've forgotten to listen to that inner child, who knows exactly what brings us joy.

Art has a way of speaking to the soul, and it’s amazing that you’ve stayed true to your passion despite the challenges. Keep creating-your path is yours alone, and it sounds like it brings you so much joy and fulfilment. Justine and Michael x

yes, we have to work (at least in the US) in order to eat, stay warm/dry and survive. Yes, I am angry too, but this is the world we live in. Love the poem.

[@soirette]

Thank you for this, Justine & Michael. In my deepest gratitude, thank you for allowing us to connect virtually with beautiful souls.

"Seeing the difference is wisdom. Finding they're the same is blessing." Your poem made me realize that we can have mercy on the world instead of getting angry at it. I will cherish these words. Thank you.

Thank you, what a beautiful gift to watch as my Saturday begins.

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

Thank you so much for these powerful words. Your gift for poetry truly is a divine gift, and I praise my father YaHuWaH Elohiym Most High for your soul and these gifts you've shared with us all. When you spoke of your life and the anger you carried, I was struck, for I've lived 42 years and still to this day I live with that anger, that frustration of not being in harmony with my purpose for being here. What I just do, my duty and what I ought to do for my heavenly Father YAH Most High, must come into accordance with be what I love to do... I've studied history, politics and the world most of my life, always being a student of life, but I've never felt I've been able to share my many thoughts.... Thank you from the bottom of my heart brother and may YAH Most High bless you and your family and loved ones always. Shalom

[@ReflectionsofLife]

We can really feel the depth of your journey and your quest for harmony and purpose. It sounds like you’ve dedicated so much time to understanding the world, and we hope you find the space to share your insights with others too. Wishing you peace and clarity on your path. Best wishes, Justine and Michael x

[@leoniem6920]

I did a creative writing course out of desperation to keep busy after burning out from working in aged care. Poetry is a wonderful way to crystallize your thoughts and emotions, an introspective self therapy. Thank you for sharing your experience. Retirement can be scary but not necessarily a negative experience❤

[@ReflectionsofLife]

That sounds like such a meaningful way to process everything you’ve been through-poetry really does have a way of bringing clarity and comfort. Take good care of yourself. Sending warm wishes, Justine and Michael. x

We may retire from 'work' but we don't have to retire from life. Good luck!

I have found solace, laughter, hope and wisdom in these Reflections videos. Today, one of them found me. Speaking your TRUTH... resonated so deeply, often bringing me to tears. That visceral response when you Know. You just Know. Thank you for this, at a time when it's most needed. I most need it.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. We're really touched that our videos could speak to you in such a meaningful way.

[@cccampbell5095]

WISDOM! WOW. I honestly have no idea how this video showed up in my queue of only two other videos! But here it is… I got REALLY angry today. I was hurt by someone who I thought was my friend for the past 15 years…I realized today that I was wrong. I just prayed for help to handle those tough situations better…the LAST thing I want to do is bring more anger into this world, and then this video ‘appeared!?’ Amazing. 🙏❤️🦋

[@ReflectionsofLife]

It's incredible how the universe seems to align sometimes, right? We're really glad the video could be a moment of support for you today. Wishing you peace and clarity as you move through this tough situation. Justine and Michael 💚

[@Justbeoktoday]

If someone you cared about for 15 years hurt you today, let them. Let them be themselves in showing you who they truly are. Now in doing that, you need to realize that if you hold onto that anger and hurt, it will manifest in you and cause you and only you, harm. Release this old friend of yours with the love you had for them for all those years. If they come back one day with the BIGGEST of all apologies as to why they strayed away from your trust...then let them. In the meantime, realize that the old friend of yours taught you a big lesson....a lesson on how you don't want to act yourself.

Great video... and... Anger comes from inside us and there is, from time to time, something in the external world which triggers this un-expressed, un-felt emotion. Sitting in deep meditation, in complete silence is what I have discovered helps to face and release emotions... for ever.
