Welcome to my first ever blog...
This blog has a couple of primary goals for me.
Firstly, it is a tool that will enable me to create and record some of the fantastic stories that I have come across, and will come across throughout my life.
Secondly, with a bit of luck, and some help from my friends and family, we will be able to inspire and support each other to share our stories within this blog. Some of you might have quite urgent or passionate reasons for sharing their stories. Others may only want to share stories for the sake of practicing writing. And finally, some of you who read this, might wish to post comments and critique of the content. All of the above is invited, welcomed and will be gratefully received.
The only rules are; Karuna is one of the Buddhist principles, it means compassion, or in this instance, it means to work from a place of compassion, or for a compassionate outcome. So when you write your stories, or post comments, please consider the following in every instance;
"Do these words, and the intention behind them.....offer compassionate thought, and outcome? Are the stories/comments, being written to heal or harm others?" AND just as importantly, "Does this story/posting/comment make my heart sing?"
The purpose of this blog is to provide me with seeds of ideas, thoughts, opinions and to ultimately allow me to master the art of telling stories through documentary film making.
This is an extension of my existing knowledge and understanding of story telling through image collecting, and I hope to be able to grow throughout this process, to be a better story teller, and also hopefully, a better listener.
With any luck, it should be fun!
Right then, signing off, number 1 posting. How exciting! Bring it on!
Much love and respect to you all, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
