Top of the afternoon to you friends!

Im back here to share my latest artistic creation with you, and to share a few simple thoughts.

Things have been a little deep at my end of the beach, so as usual, I have used my photography, art, and
imagination to help subside the tides.

This Movie is dedicated to my Son, and I hope that he can discover what it is that can bring him peace by
watching this. He knows me better than anyone, so I feel confident that he will.

We have learned much together over the past month. He has discovered that the choices he makes in life directly
effect everyone around him. He can bring joy or pain to the ones who love him. I pray at night that he will
understand this in himself this very day, and that he can do this before breaking down the spirits of those around
him.

Like me, his conscious is deep, and knowing this does bring me peace during those alone times of meditation at
night. He is 15 now and for everything that I teach him, I realize even more that he is the one teaching me.  

I feel like an outsider at times, who’s just looking in without any control of what it was that made me weak during
my adolescence. As scary as it is I do know this. As Parents we owe ourselves and our children one thing. It is our
responsibility to “not” teach them what to “think”, rather; “teach” them “how” to think.

41 years of life has not prepared me for Parenthood my friends. What I can say is that you embrace anything and
everything that is important to you. Like a pyramid upon completion, it can bring you the knowledge of what it is
that gives you a sense of achievement. It is only within ourselves that the power to learn and to unconditionally
appreciate the benefits of life reside.

Love, Faith, and Hope,
Wesley Balli
