Nigel had become stuck in an attempt to describe the nature of love at work. Such is the experience of the mind trying to undertake a task that it is woefully under qualified for. And then there came an extended still point, always an important passage of time, followed by a single question.

What you’ll see here in this most naked of 89 seconds, is a usually private man speaking from the very depths of his soul.

Alongside the poem Your Part in All This.

The Film and Words are currently available for contributing subscribers who are supporting this universal human endeavor and its sustainability. This is the mission you’d be supporting - “two decades ago I set out to capture the Soul of the Human Race on film, so that we might see ourselves reflected in each other. So that we might come to remember that we belong to each other, and act accordingly. So that we might wake up.”

I would so appreciate your support in this exploration of the deep human interior.
