This and That
I so love what he does. His installations involve the people who come through them in ways that will warm your heart.
Also heartwarming are the accolades he has gotten.
He’s looking for help with FLIGHT, the project for this year, coming up in late August. Go to his site and click on “Art Installations.” On that page, click on “The Art of Detail” for a slide show of his very special, wonderful photography.
I am floored at how good this is. What has cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars in classes and private consulting services with Marc Rosenbush, my film distribution mentor, is now available for chump change in his LIVE ONLINE WEBINARS. If you’re going to go the DIY route to distribute your movie, or want to determine whether that route is for you, Marc is the go to person.
You’ll understand what Marc is up to if you listen to him explain it:
SORRY! THIS LINK IS NO LONGER IN USE…
(He doesn’t say this, but you can keep the sessions to refer back to, which would have been a boon to me. Also, if you miss a live version you’ll won’t get the interactive aspect, but you can buy the recorded one afterwards.) This is the first one. I personally guarantee double your money back if you enroll and don’t find it to be super valuable:

If you want to see something done for me under Marc’s guidance, here’s the landing page for buying my DVD: http://www.CropCircleMovie.com.
I have a new mantra, so to speak. Every so often, sometimes years apart, I get a new idea of a thought to be resting in — like Don Juan’s “assemblage point” in the Castaneda books. My new thought to be coming from is BE CONTENT, which brings me a wave of comfort whenever I think of it.
My movie has me consumed. I’m advised to take time off, to kick back at night, to have a life. But, thanks to the internet, there’s always more to do. Even writing blog posts. Always more. With BE CONTENT in mind, instead of fighting against my proclivity I just let it be. Much better. I can feel it even as I write it.
This isn’t new news in the big world. ‘Acceptance’ is my top of the list word. But being content is the doing of acceptance, acceptance also being a more complex concept.
What? Accept the horrors of the world? To accept them doesn’t mean to approve of them, but to recognize that what is is, which comes before trying to change things.
Oh, I expect I’m going to get a few backs up here. Accept Hitler? Well, yes. Oh gosh, there’s more that figures to be coming to me of what there’s always more of.
I came the closest to a mystical experience when I realized how vital acceptance is. It’s “being in the now,” as advocated perhaps most popularly at this time by Exkhart Tolle in books like, The Power of Now. My personal mystical sort of realization came with the idea that if one person did that totally, accepting everything (it came to me, sitting cross-legged on my bed, as “letting everything land in your lap”), we would have another Christlike being — and wouldn’t that be a wonderful model to have amongst us?! There would be no denying the power of the good that would emanate from such a person.
When I read this to a friend, I got this great quote back, “Contentment is the only true wealth!” Lau Tzu
