ANCIENT WISDOM

Humanity is one big, eight-billion-person family that lives together on Earth - born on the same planet, covered by the same skies, gazing at the same stars, breathing the same air.
We may speak different languages and belong to different cultures, but we are all part of the same human family. And like any other family, we are all unique - we have our own likes and dislikes, our own temperaments, our own experiences - but that doesn't make us any less a part of our family.
In a world where kindness knows no boundaries, we have the power to create a tapestry of unity, where every person is valued, and the bonds of our human family are strengthened by the threads of empathy and respect. It is time we start to acknowledge that we are all in this together. The sooner we start to greet each other with open arms and open hearts, the sooner we will be able to make a change.
‘We are all related. And when you become aware of that, you realise how important it is to take care of your sisters and brothers.’ - Jay Bowen, Upper Skagit Tribe.
Filmed in Skagit Valley Washington, USA.

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.

When we start to see the divine in every soul we will have peace! When we realize that we came empty handed and will leave this world empty handed we will stop killing each other for land. We will learn to coexist! When we stop looking up to some people and down on others we will see that everyone is on their own path and that we are all here to fulfill Gods purpose! We will see value in every single person! When we stop thinking that everyone should look, act and be like ourselves we would love each other and hate will cease to exist! The answer is simple! Love, accept and learn to coexist with others!

This. I’ve said this & felt like an outcast for even thinking it. All humans are indigenous to the Earth. All one family - all indigenous to this planet.

She could get the best health supports...etc. I've done my Best for accompanying her ). When finally I was alone and sad, I couldn't ask again like before. I faced this Reality well ( with still shedding tears..😢..) I (myself) wanted to be silent. Now "Listening" becomes my new habit in my life. I love it!.. because I can be more Grateful!.. While being silent and listening, I can think about..."What I should do for my present moment?"...

Powerful conversation that brings truth to our humanity in this world we call life. Lessons we learn or decline as we breeze thru different seasons of life as our lives experiences the paths meant for us before birth and during our time here in this life term.

I don't often get a response to that (unpopular) opinion, but that's okay because I know it to be true.

I think that the change from "green renaissance" to "reflections of life" will allow for more people (previously biased from the "green" moniker) to enter the discussions that the rest of us have already discovered. good decision Justine and Michael.......

[@ReflectionsofLife]

It's been a great adventure to share these stories over the last six years - and we're only even more excited for all that lies ahead in the years to come.

You listen to your soul. In the four directions of beauty, there are infinite reflections. Once I knew the birds language. Once, I sang the song of the wolf. Your heart-words spark my memory.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

These are my people, no matter my blood line. These teachings caused me to fall in love with the interconnected soul, to know my "home," So sorry for those who came and did not see/understand the beauty and truth in these people. My home, my heart. 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 🌹 BTW, who is the weaver that wove his hat?

[@jaybowen8713]

A lummi man and wife

"listen to your heart". "listen" the guidance is always there. Be still and listen. We just need to listen. I absolutely love that this most important directive is such an important part of Jay Bowen's American Indian culture. Wow! If this was part of all the cultures in the world, we would have peace and love. Justine and Michael, thank you so very much for finding this wonderful man and for sharing his wisdom with the world.
