VIDEO:THIS KINGDOM

I found this video very interesting. Watched it after watching last minutes with oden. It is the same account phos pictures. It is pretty heavy but there is something about the voice over with the emotion in the video that I find striking and powerful.
"When He feels like He is the furthest is when He's the closest."

VIDEO:LOVE

Powerful snapshot of love. Even if you have never been the owner of an animal, which I don't count myself in, I think the message of this speaks to something deeper.

VIDEO:WINTER

Winters of My Life is a portrait of Howard Weamer. For the past 35 years he has spent his winters as a hutkeeper in Yosemite's backcountry. He fills his days writing, reading, photographing, and being an ambassador to mountain culture. This is a brief look into his world and why he chooses to stay.

This man's life reminds me of a John Muir quote, "Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul."

VIDEO:COLLAPSE

This is a film I came across a while back. I just re-watched it today and decided to post the link to the film here. Do not be alarmed by the film but use it as a reminder that the way you live your life and the things you hold so precious now will not last forever.

WORDS:INSPIRATION

Quit smoking around 5 months ago. Found this timeline on what would happen if a person quits smoking right now.

* In 20 minutes your blood pressure will drop back down to normal.
* In 8 hours the carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) levels in your blood stream will drop by half, and oxygen levels will return to normal.
* In 48 hours your chance of having a heart attack will have decreased. All nicotine will have left your body. Your sense of taste and smell will return to a normal level.
* In 72 hours your bronchial tubes will relax, and your energy levels will increase.
* In 2 weeks your circulation will increase, and it will continue to improve for the next 10 weeks.
* In three to nine months coughs, wheezing and breathing problems will dissipate as your lung capacity improves by 10%.
* In 1 year your risk of having a heart attack will have dropped by half.
* In 5 years your risk of having a stroke returns to that of a non-smoker.
* In 10 years your risk of lung cancer will have returned to that of a non-smoker.
* In 15 years your risk of heart attack will have returned to that of a non-smoker.

Inspiration to never go back.
