a story for tomorrow. from gnarly bay productions, Inc. on Vimeo.
Beautiful. Compelling.
Just like the effect of this photo on me. On how it made me realize that I can overcome my fears; and how much it pushed me to make the Big Trip a reality. This video 'a story for tomorrow.' by Gnarly Bay Productions made me nostalgic of my travels. The photos and shots are beautiful, and the words, the questions (more powerful since it was narrated by a Latino man) had quite an effect on me. And of course, it was more compelling for me since they were shot in Patagonia and Chile, which are some of the places I want to see in South America.
Are you still having second thoughts about going out there, leaving your comfort zone for a period of time, and seeing the world? Watch this. Hope your answers to Future's questions are both yes. Because mine's yes. :)
A long long time ago, there were two people who looked very much like yourselves. And as with you, they were on a journey. A quest, if you will. To find what we all seem to be searching for. For reasons they may never even know.
They entered the land of the great Atacama, and headed south. Warm desert winds rose from the sands. And guided through the valley of the moon. A place where time and direction don’t exist. Yet, they still pressed on. Soon the horizon flattened out. And they crossed the mirror of the sands. The first sign of life but certainly not the last. Soon colors of green and blue covered the hills. And they found a new guide – water.
Tiny streams became raging rivers. And they were taken west, past the smoking mountains and floating falls. Until they reached the ocean, where sunlight grows from the ground and dances from the palm of your hands. They drifted south. Each day a new dawn, a new direction, a new way to be. As days turn to weeks, visions of moving colors and curious creatures pass them by.
Until time simply faded away.
And as with all those who have come before you. Their path soon came to an end. And they only found me, their future. Quietly waiting. And I asked them the same two questions I will someday ask you.
Is it possible to be happy with this life?
And I will ask as I do to everyone else. Did you enjoy your story?
