"Something important had happened " What a grand and respectful statement. Thank you for putting it that way.

Those are truly the best spots to stumble upon. I can tell you as “a man in a wheelchair“ for the last 38 years, we typically do not want anyone to temper their sheer enjoyment or lust for life in front of us, especially when it involves children. It’s true we perhaps reflect a little bit and get nostalgic if we have experienced similar prior to a disability, but if it affected me in a negative way I would not be at the pool. As the pool alone would be the difficult part to consume. And, without question a child’s curiosity about why I might be at the pool, but also in a wheelchair is rarely a problem. The answer can add even more understanding of the world to a developing mind. In fact, as your story unfolds and the ambulance exits stage left, it serves as a reminder that life is way too short. And enjoy every second as best you can. Well told Mr Spirited.

This video made me realize I'd like to be a father. His laughs made my heart full. Thanks for the magic, Van.

That was very intense. As someone who fights deep depression, my mind went to certain places. Where ever the "man in the wheelchair" is, I hope he has some peace.

[deadhead]

not sure why i gravitate to your videos but man the way you can put together a regular "scene" and turn it into something that gives me goosebumps is magical thanks van

[Kylealexander]

“Something important had happened” something about that line really hit me

[craigjohnson]

Your last “Are you a filmmaker?”video seemed like it was a chore for you to create. Yet this one seemed like a gift from the gods. Simple. Profound. Beautiful.

[zekezero]

One of your best. An unsettling mixture of hope and despair.

[BenjaminAlonso-dl]

There is something about that place - that roaring Nostalgia - that man in the wheel chair - heaviness of a longing for what was - at the same time an acceptance with what is - with what has become - truly a gem like many others have commented -

[CMills]

Wow. And the soundtrack. The music. The noise. Wow.

[hunterhogan]

best video i’ve seen in years. brought me to tears.

[robertkarlsson]

Beautifully made film this. It flew by so quickly.

[geddees]

Wow, what incredible writing. What an incredible video Van!

By the wild rivers and silent fields,
Where the winds whisper secrets of the ancients,
I sing of the burdened heart and the release,
Of struggles faced and the storms within.

Oh, the weight we carry, unseen, unmeasured,
In the quiet corners of the soul, they nestle deep,
The cares of the day, the fears of the night,
The dreams deferred, the promises broken.

With each dawn, a new hope springs,
Yet the shadows linger, heavy and thick,
But hear me, traveler on this weary road,
Your loads will be blown, your spirit set free.

In the embrace of nature's vast expanse,
Where the sky kisses the earth with tender grace,
Release your sighs, your silent cries,
Let the winds carry them to the distant seas.

For in the letting go, there's a rebirth,
A lightening of the heart, a lifting of the soul,
The burdens that seemed immovable,
Are swept away by the breath of the infinite.

Feel the sun's warm touch upon your face,
The gentle rustle of leaves, the whisper of the breeze,
Let the earth's ancient song seep into your being,
For in this symphony, your loads will be blown.

Oh, wanderer of life's tumultuous path,
Know that the weight is but a transient thing,
In the grand expanse of existence,
Your spirit is boundless, your essence free.

So rise, with the dawn, in the embrace of day,
With the strength of a thousand stars within,
And as the winds of change sweep through your life,
Let your burdens be scattered, your soul unbound.

In the end, it is the journey, not the load,
That shapes the essence of who we become,
So sing, oh heart, with joyous refrain,
For your loads will be blown, your spirit will soar.

Thank you, your art is very humbling and makes me look at the world like a child discovering the world around him for the first time.

[kellansanns]

Stories told by the spirited man are magical. These videos make me think and feel.

[janelte]

I loved this video when I first saw it in your Patreon channel, and it was even more beautiful and poignant viewed a second time. A tiny, perfect, imperfect snapshot. thank you.

Stripped back story telling. This felt fantastic. An extremely thought provoked subscriber is heading to the the gym with lots to consider while on the treadmill
