daily meditations

An exploratory journey into what it means to be a human. When existing in a dynamic society becomes humdrum, the notion of marching among the living seems like an expedition far away. Open up the window to your soul and let the breeze in while asking yourself: what does it mean to live a fulfilling life? What does this all mean?

Happy Father's Day (E01)

An encounter with a trainer in a North Hollywood gym leads Mike to observe despair from a different vantage point.

The daunting feeling of rejection can be crippling, especially when it comes from one of the biggest artists in the world, but maybe rejection is the first step into getting to where we want to be.
