It starts with a spark. I can feel the warmth of the light of the idea. In my subconscious, the light dances. The color begins to show, full spectrum. I’m then pulled out of the vision as I fulfill my duties and responsibilities. But then I start playing around in the ocean of consciousness in the background of life. A nice leader of movement, I can tell I’m getting somewhere. Now I plunge into the deep waters. I sit here and watch the beauty of the thing. Color! Back to a grounded place, I share love with my daughter, it makes me happy. I slip back into the ocean for a moment then break through the surface and head toward the sky. I’m soaring. I’m flying! No, I’m awake. My head hurts a bit. The stampede is coming, whether I like or not. But, I like it. Now I’m awake awake, I can see. The connections are clear. I feel love, I share love. I see the world around me. I see the birth of all things. I see that death comes too. I feel frustration. But then I feel the spiritual essence of life again and I experience deep emotional resonance. Everything around me merges together because everything is also everything else. From this process comes tangible reality.

I am a vessel. I am here and everywhere. I relinquish control and release myself into the water. The water is the unified field. I can feel that I am small and part of everything. I'm traveling down the road—smooth. I'm swimming down the road. The full release of self and I'm fully submerged in the unified field of consciousness where everything is. Everything is here and so am I. In the reverberation of frequency, my experience is more open. Swimming down the road. Light, gentle, beautiful thoughts are observed and released. Swimming. Touched. Truly touched by all that is.

I am the vessel at the center of it all, a steady presence in the vast current. Desire blazes within me, guiding me to cast my line into the infinite, reaching into the depths of cosmic consciousness. In this fluid expanse, I am led by an inner knowing, intuition as true as the tides, showing me where to be, and where to go. The quiet within me holds the essence of transcendence, where all things—above and below—converge, meeting in the stillness at my center.

The genesis of Greetings from Arizona was deeply personal and abstract. It began as a feeling—a persistent pull toward reconciling grief and identity. At its core, the idea was about understanding oneself through the lens of the past, framed by a desire to make peace with unresolved emotions. I wanted to explore the boundary between reality and recollection. This desire became the seed, planted in the unified field of creativity. Desire gave the idea momentum. I felt compelled to explore the unresolved parts of my past and share that exploration, to create something I wish existed in the world. It was this desire that sustained me through the early stages of uncertainty and doubt, pushing me to give the abstract form more clarity and structure.  Intuition acted as the compass throughout the process. The open road felt like a metaphor for exploration and self-discovery, and the intention to document it emerged as a natural next step. With no firm structure, we set out on a road trip across the country during the first year of the project. We recorded life as it was happening, trusting intuition to guide us toward what felt meaningful. The project was raw, formless, and open-ended—a phase of gathering, not shaping. After a year of intuitive exploration, the gathered pieces began to suggest a shape. The outline emerged, capturing the beats of grief, memory, and transformation. We created a character arc for Margaret and decided on the structure of the film in terms of blending narrative and poetic elements. This stage of manifestation was about building the framework—the trunk of the tree that would support the branches of the story. One year after the initial road trip, we returned to Arizona to film the more narrative elements of the story. Scenes with dialogue, character relationships, and intentional visual motifs were crafted to weave a cohesive narrative. The abstract feelings that began as vibrations were now embodied in actors, settings, and deliberate storytelling choices. The raw documentation from the first year became intertwined with these narrative scenes, enriching the emotional depth of the project. In post-production, the film reached its most concrete expression. Editing became the process of weaving the home video footage, narrative scenes, and visual motifs into a coherent whole. The score was composed which elevated the story to a new level of expression and color correction added a layer of visual cohesion and beauty. The final step of manifestation was letting the project exist outside of me. Greetings from Arizona became its own entity, a mirror reflecting universal themes of grief and healing back to the world. It was no longer just my story but a shared space for others to find resonance, understanding, and perhaps even solace. At this stage, the project had moved beyond creation into contribution, existing as a tangible expression of abstract inspiration. The project serves as a reminder to me that all creation begins in stillness and unfolds through trust and action.
