HONEST VULNERABLE MAN worthy of LOVE

We are all wonderfully unique, gifted individuals, and yet we don't inherently know that. We tend to place our worth in the hands of others.
Our worth isn't defined by whether or not someone else loves, values or appreciates us - it's inherent. We are worthy because we are alive. We are worthy because within our heart lies an infinite capacity for compassion, kindness, and connection. We are worthy because in our vulnerability, we find our strength, and through our imperfections, we discover our humanity.
We are worthy because we are a human being in this massive, confusing, magical, surprising world. And that is reason enough to believe in something as silly - and absolutely certain - as love.
Filmed in New York City, USA.

I am 62 and have been on a journey of self discovery since the age of 26 ( I was widowed at 22) and have watched so many of your films......THIS one has touched me so deeply. Feeling worthy, feeling enough, feeling smart enough all have been so challenging for me Most of my adult life. I know today my patents did the bet that they knew how, given all the ancestral abuse and dysfunction handed down. I feel to be the "chosen one" to end the behaviors. I don't claim to be perfect, we are all a work in progress. I continue to open my self up to the Light of the Wisdom of Truth inside of me to come to stillness and pause. To see the beauty of a sunset, sunrise, watch a bird eating in a feeder, a frog hopping in my yard. To feel the breeze on my skin. To be present to the the moment at hand and be in gratitude. Thank you for your heartfelt films and the gentleman in this film for sharing his journey with us all. Namaste {~*~}

My mind is blown with this video! Tears are not of sadness, but a real beautiful human being still exists. I live upstate NY, when in the city I would love to have coffee and get more wisdom you are engulfed with. God has you full of insight and wisdom, and you need to share that especially in these days.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for your kind message. So happy that you appreciated his message so much. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@angie33able]

Hello. I rarely comment, however I feel the need to tell you what a beautiful soul you have. You are, warm intelligent amazing. You have taken me out of my self pity and helped me see the precious world we live in. Thank you. Your openess has touched my ❤️ blessings from Angie from England.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Oh wow Angie, what a deeply moving message. Thank you for sharing here with us. And for taking the time to appreciate all that Patrick had to say. We send you much love, across the seas from South Africa. Justine and Michael 💚

😂🎉 All I see are 🔥 flaming red flags 🚩! Y’all need to go back & actually listen to what he’s saying. 🤨Seems everyone’s spidy senses stopped working because of the slow cinematography & honey words.😂😂

[@nahzewilliams5912]

@@sandycheeks1580 whats he really saying in your opinion then?

[@cherylmiller4469]

I “see” you and what I see is an incredible human being. You ARE worthy, so much so. Thank you Green Renaissance for this and all you’ve done and all you continue to do.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

You are so welcome, glad you enjoyed the story he shared. Good to have you with us on our journey. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

I’m in my 50s. My husband passes away abruptly in May. I only had 4.5 healing years with this handsome (heart and body) man. I have never laughed so much. His death left a great space where I utterly lost my small self esteem. I have begun to heal. The mirror is harsh and get scared. It is my patch of woods and the river where I began to really see myself again. ♥️ Thank you for this interview. It was what I needed exactly when I needed it.

[@opossumdreams]

I remember crossing the Brooklyn bridge in an old grey VW. It was the 80s and I was such a kid. I’m a country mouse and I felt very brave coming to Brooklyn. 😁♥️

[@ReflectionsofLife]

So thankful that we could share Patrick's story with you at this time of need. Thank you for sharing all that has happened and is happening with you. May you continue to heal when being in the woods and at the river. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@opossumdreams]

@@ReflectionsofLife these interviews have brought me to tears more than once with truths. 💗

[@ajt0319]

The sound of children laughing and playing brings joy to me as well. Big selling point 😊

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Glad you enjoyed this thought. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@sherry5654]

This message was beautiful on this fall Saturday morning ❤ Thank🙏🏽

You are welcome, so happy you liked the message he shared. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@levmoses742]

Imagining walking through the world constantly being judged, frequently having to explain yourself, and still holding all this compassion for yourself. He is wise beyond his years and the experience of most. May he always be safe, happy, and in a state of loving himself.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Very caring, kind and touching message. Thank you. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@JjBianca]

Exactly! 💯

[@veggi23]

I live in Scotland, and I am around the same age as you. and it lightens my soul to hear you talk, thank you its good to know we are more alike than different from each other.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

So happy you appreciated the message Patrick shared. Sending you warm hugs from South Africa, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@a.wilcox5690]

I can relate to this so much. I live near a child care center and I love to hear the sounds of children playing. I walk among the trees and find the beauty breathtaking. And I am alone in my senior years. And I was neglected as a child. Lots of trauma and mental illness in my family of origin. But you are a black man living in this country facing racism every day. I have no idea how that feels but I want to understand. You are worthy. You are enough.💗💗💗

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us, sorry to read about your childhood and family circumstances. So glad you could relate to his message and also have the opportunity to hear children playing, to enjoy nature. May that always help and inspire you. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@khalikreationz7]

That mask I wear is my survival technique....whereas people would think I am...too serious. It serves me , not because I want to seen that way, it just deter any negativities or unwarranted confrontations. I wish they could see my heart as it is always bursting with the joy of laughter and an appreciation for life. Nature as a way of bringing me such peace and priceless moments of awe, as it is so unpretentious, in its purest form and affords me a time when I can say....'God this can only be You!' Life as loan me a lot of bends, detours and pitfalls, I cry and worry but I never stay there. I refer to Ecclesiastes 3:1-8....Everything in life is seasonal, some longer than others, however I never give up, just in case at the next bend there is.... straight road ahead. Thank you for sharing...Shalom.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Interesting and deep thoughts, thanks so much for sharing. Your words invite to ponder. Yes, our life has got straights and bends, valleys and mountains. Wishing you all the best for life's journey. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@tanyachapman4725]

I was in tears listening to his story. For everything he's gone through in his life, he has come out of it all with such wisdom. He seems so grounded, calm and wonderfully introspective about life. I truly believe that he will find the perfect relationship, the perfect person who will be authentically his forever. We all deserved to be loved and accepted for who we are.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

So encouraging and touching. Beautiful words. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@janelleetsitty36]

I turned 60 earlier this year in January, so I feel every bit of what this man is conveying. I didn't grow up in a dangerous neighborhood back in the day, but I did feel like I needed to put on that mask of protecting myself and it did work for me in school because I put up that wall of not being approachable and with being a Native American in an all white school in the early 70's was pretty tough for a female. But, later on at a high school reunion, I did find out that I was portrayed to be this bad ass chick that no one wanted to mess with lol guess it was a good thing because it kept me outta fights or any tyoe of confrontations. But, thank you for this story.. what a genuine man.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for sharing your experiences. Glad his message spoke to you deeply. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
