I have no doubt that my connection to your work is purposeful as well! Before I watched your film all those years ago, I craved a life like yours, free from government and authority intervention and rules. I always thought it was the natural way to live... Why must we act like lab rats and have no choice? Animals get to be free, why can't we? Why do we have to work meaningless jobs that give us no life skills and don't better ourselves or the world in any way, yet somehow is respected by most people?

Those were questions that haunted me and left me feeling defeated until you showed me it is possible to break free. Coming across your work affirmed a lot of inner turmoil that was suppressed with "just accept it. It's just the way it is." I just couldn't shake that, and you gave me hope...a bigger gift than just about anyone has ever given me, besides my children, so I can't thank you enough!

I agree, "work" is only a "4 letter word" when it's part of the system. When you're just doing it to be "a productive member of society" and to earn money. But when it's done because you're drawn to it, then it's a labor of love... It has meaning and actually makes yourself and your world better. Then it's not the dreaded "4 letter word" at all. It's something to feel good about!

I wish you all the best in your journey and I will continue to follow it. But I have to ask, did you take your website down? I've been out of the loop for a while there lol and I can't seem to find it anymore...
