From this Unrequested Fire
A Soul Biography about breaking wide open so as to come to understand what life is asking of us
The carer to a partner with a debilitating illness so often carries a vast unseen weight. A weight that will change everything. Perhaps we are not as in control as we continue to suppose. And perhaps in the fragility of such a realization, we might break wide open and come to understand what it is that life is asking of us.
‘What is this journey asking of me?’
Eric Mulholland (the subject of this Soul Biography)
This portrait film should be seen alongside Charlie’s Soul Biography, playing on the Soul Biography site with a full list of the community patrons that made these two films possible.
Feel at liberty to gather a small group and let the films take you somewhere you may have never been together. The start of a film club, perhaps.

A Girl Saw Light
A girl saw light.
She couldn't explain it,
and so for fear of
appearing foolish
she kept it to herself.
And it died with her,
and never completed
what it had come here to do.
Nic,
so much gratitude to you and your work,...
Perhaps watch it again, without the 'Soul Biography' Logo, while he is speaking...
(don't watch if distracted)
Chip Conley founder of the Modern Elder Academy asked to screen this one at their Film Festival in December. I will be introducing the film (and discussing).
