This video (and the mini photo series here: www.jenniferwangphotography.com/fall-kosmos-1/ ) was born out of a small but significant coincidence that occurred during a difficult moment in my life. I was experiencing a lot of despair over these major parts of my life that were out of my control--my love life, my career, and my legal status in France. I felt totally lost and hopeless, not sure which path would lead to happiness and peace of heart. I started meditating regularly, and during some meditations, I received timely messages from my Higher Self. One early one was, "Just be like a leaf, floating on a river. Let the river take you where it will." I realized this inner voice was right; it was my desire for control over everything that took away my ability to simply have faith in the flow of my life. A week after receiving this message, I was shooting near a town outside Paris around dusk, and found myself fascinated by all these fallen leaves floating from the canal out to the river it connected with. Completely captivated, I stood on this bridge and shot these leaves for maybe 30 minutes. It was afterward, on the train home, that I suddenly connected my experience with the message. So voilà, there's my little story. Songs: Building Time Lapse Three Colors Brightening All music by Podington Bear (www.podingtonbear.com)
