Beyond Thoughts - A Journey Into Present Moment Awareness

A charming fairy tale about a young girl and her sleepy adventures with the dream fairies.I spent a lot of time thinking about dreams this week, and how It can be so easy to feel lost or frustrated by our seeming lack of progress toward our dreams. I made a video about it and included a lot of shots of the local wildflowers that are blooming here on the mountain.
