Me, unedited. I was caught off guard by a dear friend who turned the camera on me and asked me to answer my own questions. I try to give the people I interview a bit more notice. There are some answers I may have tweaked or changed but for the most part it’s an accurate and authentic representation of my hopes and dreams.

A good-bye to Orem and the apartment where I’ve been the past 5 months. Closing another chapter.

Headed up Spanish Fork Canyon as first leg of the adventure begins. A bit of philosophizing which will be in almost all of my solo performances.

2 days before departure. Some thoughts.

Reflections on my experience in Price

I dub myself “BACKSTORY.” Talk about my time with Steve and Laurence

Appreciating the world we have. Colorado is amazing. Comments on political activism.

Final stretch into Taos New Mexico. Coming home in a sense.

What are Your Dreams? Explaining the origins of Question #1, eventually (-:

This is a commentary, an introduction if you will, on the six Taos interviews. You might wish to watch it before deciding which, if any of them, you may want to view or share.

A view of what I do to a space when I stop to upload and such. I include some observations about hidden costs of what pay-to-play college education may be costing us both economically and politically. These observations are based on a conversation I had with my host who is from Moscow and does not feel she speaks enough English to be interviewed.

Finding "OUR Pieces" in others is further explored. Some impressions of the "Steve in Colorado" interview.

I ramble on about climate change and some of the issues families might be facing as children question the way things are and how my generation may have screwed things up. It may be too political for some. I can't keep me out of this project. Hopefully those who question my questioning and observations should voice them in comments here and on the website. My intention is to be respectful of all views but not be unauthentic in accepting all of them.

I go over a few of the interviews and give my impressions. I encourage viewers who may be pressed for time to look at the last few minutes of interview.

Giovanni wishes for a peaceful world without drugs and expresses his appreciation for his life in America

A young man reflects on his dreams and their origins. He gives advice that is ageless.

Melissa is absolutely one of the most delightful people I have known over the years. She’s very accomplished in many areas and is perhaps the youngest branch managers of a bank of which I’m aware. She excels in so many areas that I expected her dreams might include the economy, physical fitness and discipline or something that would reflect her prowess in the garden. Instead, she expresses a mother’s wish. Enjoy the simple expression of a mother’s deeply held affection for her children

Lexie touches our hearts with her journey, dreams and advice. She describes her struggle, coming to grips with her gender identity and gently, without guile nor condemnation, calls for us to lead with our hearts. This interview is one of the most touching and enlightening I've conducted.

His is a first, an interview where I was not present. The interviewer interviewed her father, areligious instructor of adolescents in Orem Utah , Seminary Teacher for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). Brother Conrad takes us along memory lane as his dreams evolve from boyhood to manhood, from focusing on himself to expanding his energies to include others. He counsels us to find and follow our passions, to include others and to consider God.

Meet an award winning biology teacher who reveals his scholastic struggles as a child and his surprisingly early and unwavering decision to become a teacher. His concern for an equitable and cooperative society rather than a culture based on avarice and inequality is particularly insightful. I will interview him again at his home where he has turned his yard into a garden of eden. Besides being an award-winning teacher and horticulturist, he is a decent human being.

Meet KiKi as she expresses her desire to succeed and move beyond what she feels society in general expects of her.

This interview is filled with a lot of astute observations and wisdom. John's advice to write down our dreams, to be aware of whose dreams we are actually living , has universal application. He's so authentic. Sit back and take it in.

Kathy is a Hostess at Temple Square in Salt Lake City. There's some background conversations going on but her faith and sincerity come through load and clear. She expresses her wishes for her children and family.

“It’s all about Balance...Make it happen.” Kelsie shares her dreams and desires as she navigates her inner self through her cultural heritage. She counsels young people to move forward, without hesitation. Her energy, honesty and frankness are refreshing. Thank you Kelsie.

Dallin is one of the most gifted and humble people I have known. He is a master of so many things, rebuilding motorcycles, musician, cooking, philosophy, ANYTHING mechanical and on and on. You will hear his music in this and subsequent videos. He's a master on Native American flutes and has donated a lot of time and talent in cutting tracks for me to use on this project. Listen as Dallin tells of his dreams and experiences on which they are founded. He talks of his heritage and is particularly insightful when it comes to counseling minority adolescents as well as couples. Dallin's observance of the Golden Rule extends to all life: To all my relatives!

John is one of the most generous people I have met so far. He opens his heart to us in this interview, expressing his desire to enjoy the innocent, childlike wonder and appreciation of and for life.He gives us a glimpse into his views on materialism and the strain that acquiring may cause on relationships, particularly those relationships involving those nearest and dearest to us. He advises us to slow down and to have loving and honest communication with our spouses.

Brent and his wife Kayleen are very down-to-earth and salt-of-the-earth people. I was able to interview Brent in his home that is nestled on farmland in central Utah. Brent is a combination of rural and worldly in his perspective and shares his dreams and love of the rural lifestyle. He encourages us all to "stick out our necks" and try things, participate and take reasonable risks if we wish to succeed.

other, grandmother and wife who has been battling cancer for three years. She struggled with a 30+ pound tumor and has undergone various treatments during that time. Recently she decided to terminate all treatments and accept the consequences. I was privileged to be at a gathering with her and her siblings where she agreed to answer the 3 Dream Questions.

Her wishes for her children, for all of us; to forgive and forget, to move forward without grudges, for couples to sleep peacefully without anger toward one another are all timely and timeless.

Her perspectives and dreams are founded in her childlike faith in the culture and religion in which she was raised. Her simple yet profound insights will resonate with both the "religious" and irreligious :-) I encourage you to listen and connect with your heart as Jane speaks to us all.

Lucas wants to work within the system to make life better for those whom the system crushes or leaves behind. I worked with Lucas 4 years ago on Earthships and he's by far a magician when he has a tool or a house plan in his hands. His dreams are palpable and he would say that he has been fortunate to have been surrounded by safety nets throughout his life. Enjoy your time with Lucas and THINK about or PONDER the implications of what he is saying.

Jessica is such an upbeat, positive person. The situation was far less than ideal, blowing wind, but her personality came through anyway. She was at an Earthship site hauling dirt and filling 250-300 pound tire bricks that would be three of the structure's walls.

Adam gives us a very strong perspective of our society. He expresses his desire for a more collaborative and empathetic culture to develop through like-minded people as the "throw-away" culture becomes less and less viable. He urges us to willingly and courageously move forward, individually as well as collectively, to develop alternatives.

Laelia tells of her dreams of helping the indigenous and others in the Amazon in her native Brazil. This is her first time in the USA and she's only spending five days. Listen to the wisdom and perspective of another idealist who has come to Taos on the path to dream realization.

Meredith is a young idealist who like Lexi and others tells us to follow our hearts and dreams. Her ideal of hostels and communities of like-minded people dovetails with much of what I have been hearing here in Taos. Enjoy her energy and optimism.

Alice is a seeker who confirms that Taos is a Mecca of sorts for Dreamers. Enjoy her insights and experiences as she joins the mounting chorus of those who tell us to follow our hearts.

This interview was a reminder to me of the importance of family. The devotion of mothers and their influence on the children as they grow and leave the home. I thought of my children, the physical distances between us and their mother who is an anchor of sorts for them. Maria strengthened my resolve to stay closer to my children.

A MUST WATCH. Lots of insights into self-healing through self-love.

A very powerful interview. Kiki (a previous interviewee) in 30 years, maybe less. Tonita is the Mayor of Las Vegas, New Mexico. She has been credited for cleaning up corruption and being the voice of as well as for the people. Her perspective is Latino but her message is universal. She gives one of the strongest closing observations of any of the interviews. This interview will be especially useful in the classroom.

This interview turned the questions on their heads. He talks about real dreams he has had and weaves them into his life experience.

Nutritionist extraordinaire. Bernadette gives Insightful and informative perspectives on why it is so important to maintain good health, reasons I had not thought of. She's a nutritional consultant that can be reached at Semilla Natural Foods in Las Vegas New Mexico. Rumor has it that she's really good at it. Watch and partake of her gentle, holistic nature.

An elementary school principal dreams about a more equitable society. She shares some insightful advice and observations about our society and talks about “listening with our hearts.”

Jay has lived an incredible life with exposure to many cultures and situations. I was fortunate enough to stay with him and his wife. His hopes and dreams center on his family, yet, having watched him in action as he serves others I understand that his family extends beyond those who share his DNA.

I have included a short clip of a minister's sermon in Becky's interview. Religion is such an important part of her hopes and dreams that I included it to honor her. The clip only lasts 15 or 20 seconds if you wish to skip it. Becky gives such a humble and faith-filled perspective that I felt like including clips from her worship service would be a way of honoring and portraying her.

Pastor David of the Trinity Christian Center in Price, Utah tells us about his faith-driven dreams and the miracles that follow. He encourages us to all dream and more importantly to not be afraid to dream big.

Laurence confirms her husband's perception that they are "living the dream." She reflects on her childhood and her experiences as she's come to terms with the cultures that have influenced who she is.

This interview was like none other. Steve shares his dim perspectives of human nature and almost hopeless task of reversing negative trends in society at large. Then, at the end, he unwittingly guides me to what may be a formula for change. He reflects on his life of having done what he's set out to do and is probably as "in the moment" as anyone I've encountered. See what you think.

Lots of energy. The circumstances leading up to this interview are pretty unique.

Another restaurant encounter. Alaska was full of energy and hope for the future. She encourages us to connect our brains to what we say, in other words, think before we speak.

Great interview. John encourages us to hold our heads up. Self-confidence is paramount to achieving goals, realizing dreams.

A very down-to-earth woman, Ame shares her dreams and philosophies . Do not be fooled by her folksy demeanor, she's full of nuggets and insights. In the end she concludes that we are meant to love: it is why we are here.

An extraordinary glimpse into the heart and mind of a someone I'd call courageous. Some people might rush to judgement which is always easy to do when we do not know a person or his/her circumstances. I hope you will listen to the entire interview and then NOT make up your mind on who or what Mitzi is or why she does what she does. I find her to be a human among humans. Bless you Mitzi!

This interview seemed to start slowly but I found Kennet to be a well-read and very sensitive young man. His advice to "slow down" seems very appropriate today. His indictment of how children are schooled is also insightful. I enjoyed his shoutouts at the end. I hope a few of his relatives view this interview.

This interview begins slow then you watch Zoe lighten up and focus, find his footing, as he completely opens his soul. My sense is that some people will be sharing this one more than once. Thank you Zoe for being so...trusting.

Tracy is a very talented and accomplished person. She is responsible, directly, for my videos of me, telling people a story rather than just throwing up random interviews.

This is a man of God. Darwin has had a life dedicated to service, serving youth and others in the service of God. His advice to youth extends to parents. I love his advice to fathers regarding daughters. This person is part of the mortar that cements families and communities. Darwin is the real deal who walks his talk. I wish I had had more time in Laramie. I hope to revisit Darwin and his family.

Ryan is a preconscious young man with an outlook that is informed by his innocence as well as his curiosity about the world and how things work.

I found this family nestled in an Idaho community where they homeschooled. I discovered, I spoke with the children, that there was something wonderful and unique going on with this family. Hence, I interviewed both children and then their mother. This is Karen, the mother whose vision and magic has created a special space for her children.

Ready to be delighted and awakened? Listen to Lily as she knocks the three dream questions out of the ballpark.

I was fortunate enough to stumble onto a Democratic Candidate gathering while in Iowa. This is Marianne Williamson, a candidate but also one of the country's and perhaps one of the world's most published (A Return to Love) and quoted spiritual leaders who briefly answered The Three Dream Questions. I was able to corner her for a couple of minutes in a very raucous and exciting environment. There was not time to get the microphones out as she was rushing to an appointment. There are some excerpts from the speech she gave at the beginning and end of the video. I hope you'll take a moment to see how her dreams might inform yours.

Errol is one of those people who has worked long, hard, and wisely to achieve a comfortable retirement. However, he donates countless hours in volunteer activities and is an incredible Couchsurfing host. I know that as I was able to spend a night at his home. His Views and Dreams are from his heart as well as his mind. We shed tears recounting stories about untimely deaths of relatives and people we have known. He gives encouragement, using his own experiences, to those who may feel trapped by their circumstances. Listen, whether or not you agree with some of his political perspectives, and see what Errol reveals to you about you. found time with him to be very enlightening. Hopefully you will as well.

An interview in Omaha Nebraska. Jay's mild-mannered-reporter demeanor belies a whole lot of experience and wisdom derived from that experience. I was particularly touched by his advice to newlyweds towards the end. Jay is one of the more informed and gentle souls I've gotten to know along the trail. He also performed the subtle guitar music you might barely hear in the background. Enjoy!

Suz is an exceptional person. She works in and has a perspective that is simply deep and familiarly refreshing. She has so much insight to share that I'm going to post a followup, uncut and unedited, video where you will be able to get to know her better. I found myself wanting to take notes as she was speaking. Enjoy and glean

This is the longer conversation with Suz in Omaha. I try to keep the interviews less than 10 minutes when possible but she had so many interesting observations that I thought of including the entire interview plus some things we were talking about afterwards. If you enjoyed the edited interview you will love this one. You'll love it anyway

I spent a week in Napes Maine on a peninsula that juts out into Long Lake. My hosts were some of the kindest, most accomplished people with whom I have had the pleasure to spend an extended period time. Frank, who lives in Indiana, was one of my hosts and consented to an interview. There is a shorter, edited version as well, but I wanted to capture everything we talked about during the conversation. I try not to give any personal information about the people I interview but I do want to say that Frank and his wife are internationally recognized and have received many honors for their work in higher education. Enjoy this extended conversation with someone who has 'been around the block" and has lived in and contributed to the rich and diverse world we all inhabit

Joe is very "chill." I discovered that he's been to China hiking and climbing as well as other places. He was generous to give the interview even if he wasn't all that excited at first. Again, I am impressed with some of the wisdom that has trickled down to younger generations, but more in awe of what young people have to teach us. Perhaps we should all do more listening.

It was unique privilege to be hosted by Grace in Chicago. There was a sense of familiarity, resonance, that moved me to ask her for an interview. I hope that you enjoy her depth as she explains how she avoids planning yet avails herself to incredible opportunities and experiences. During the last question we co-discover the concept that giving advice may not be what adolescents and teens need: maybe they need to be listened to. Perhaps we all do.

Yael is a former journalist from Israel who has made the decision to change her career and life path. Her insights into her own situation and into human nature feel universal. Her goal as a child, to find a way that her friends and family could live longer, resonated with me. Much of what she said does. She, as have others, advises us to follow our hearts.

Ali is an inspiring Game Changer. His dreams become reality. He has touched and changed thousands of lives as his dreams have come to fruition. This is a video that coaches and teachers should use and share with their students and players.The importance of sports, sportsmanship and connections to accomplishment in all areas of life are explored. Listen to his advice as well as his dreams.

This is the entire interview with ALI a true visionary with the smarts, focus and work ethic to make his and other people's dreams come true, I decided to include this longer version because there is so much to inspire all of us. A growing sense of awe swelled up in me as he described his journey and vision.

Israa is a young Muslim and a ray of hope from the rising generation. She reconfirms the faith many have that young people want to do all the right things and for the right reasons. I hope you will listen to and share this compassionate young woman's hopes, dreams and advice.

Phyllis is one of those people who exudes so much high energy that you cannot help but want to be around her. I smiled during the entire interview.Her advice "Don't lose yourself," was particularly interesting to me as I thought of people who sometimes identify so strongly with their partner that they almost become helpless when the partner is gone. passes away, divorce, etc. Phyllis is definitely a nurturer: not just by vocation but also by nature. So click, listen, smile with her and share her with a friend.

"Become financially independent as soon as possible."

Gary is one of those people who seems to have the Midas Touch, but it is not luck. He has maintained the childlike curiosity that moves people to never stop learning and moving forward. His wife told me that he is always on the go. Gary gives us hope and encouragement in a world that is not as bad off as news and social media might depict it as being. Whether or not you agree with what he says, Gary is very compelling and optimistic. I felt an almost instant connection with him and his wife, like we had known each other before.

I spoke with Dave for nearly an hour at the Salt Lake International Airport and found him to be the genuine deal. He and his wife are so affectionate and so kind as well as being grounded, down to earth. This is a short one. I met up with him while debarking in Michigan and he was kind enough to respond though the time was short.

Enjoy and "Be half the man your dog thinks you are."

There are people in the world whose names just seem to fit them. Grace is one of those people. Listen to this young wife and mother articulate her hopes and dreams for her family as well as her convictions about the importance of being "valiant" in this life to expand possibilities and connections in subsequent realms. Her advice to her 13-year-old self should resonate throughout Christendom and for all people. Listen as she "gracefully" responds to the Three Dream Questions.

Josh represents all of us as we try to decide what we are going to pursue in life as a vocation or practice. The world offers so many choices that sometimes it is difficult to pin down our "dreams." Josh has had a lot of exposure and is doing a lot of thinking out loud in this interview. Wee what you find out about you as you listen to him respond to the 3 dream questions. Gotsta love his haircut!!!

Carol reflects the heartiness, humor and goodness of rural New England. She is frank, no-nonsense and gives some of the most touching and encouraging relationship advice I have heard. Her dream to travel to Antarctica was a surprise but it made sense after she explained why. This is a genuine person with heart of gold. I might tell some of you how I met Carol if you catch me in the right mood. Enjoy her as I did.

Bart is living his dream. He's a babyboomer who lived in a city and is now living, very successfully in the woods. He offers insights and advice on a variety of topics. I've included the entire conversation and will soon have a shorter synopsis-sized video. He says so many interesting things that I didn't know when or were to edit. I felt a connection with Bart for many reasons so it is difficult to know where to cut. Enjoy and share.

Mike and his wife, Gilly (Gillian) are Brits visiting the USA for a couple of weeks. I had the pleasure of being at the same camp area as them one evening and we had some great conversations. This interview was after dusk and it shows. Mike answers the three dream questions but then goes on about some initial observation about the USA, at least his few days up to that point on the east coast. Those observations will be in a subsequent video, MIKE'S Initial Impressions. The striking thing about both his and his wife's interviews is the depth of their love and dedication to their relationship. Some timeless insights and sentiments for all of us.

"I should have been more naughty." Gilly, pronounced Jilly, is delightful. She and her husband Mike are traveling the eastern part of the USA and I happened to catch them at a campsite AirBnB in Freeport Maine, just north of Portland. her perspectives are as young and refreshing as she is. Enjoy her accent and advice a she answers the Three Dream Questions.

"Eat of Life with Golden Teeth." This is the advice and philosophy by which Ian seems to be living. I witnessed their close-to-the-source lifestyle and woke up to the sounds of children running, playing and, more importantly, laughing in the open and forested spaces. Listen as Ian describes the space and experiences he and his wife are creating to give their children the world of myriad possibilities and give the world these children as they become adults who understand that myriad possibilities exist. My sense is that they have created a genius farm where they not only produce their own food but future problem solvers who will bless the larger community. Listen, be touched and inspired. What an honor to interview Ian and his wife.

We don't say different different types and shapes of trees are defective. Why are we more generous with differences in other species than we are with members of our own? Kristen raises some very insightful questions and ideas with examples to illustrate. She and Ian (another interview) are truly realizing their dreams for themselves and specifically for their children. It was a pleasure to get to know these dreamers and doers. Enjoy her stories and insights. See how many of them might improve your own views of humanity.

"We're not the same person we were yesterday. We're always evolving." Jo-Ellen is a sensitive and wise member of the community from local to global. She dedicates enormous blocks of time to others, from the church which she attends to regional and national organizations dedicated to preserve the planet and resources for future generations. Her wisdom and experience are incalculable. Enjoy!

Kindness! Service! Making a difference! These are Fiona and visa versa. Fiona is perhaps my youngest interviewee outside of Utah. I was immediately taken by her passion, not only for her project but for life in general. I had some female students my last year of teaching in Orem who had proposed something similar. They enlightened me, a male who has been married and has daughters, about some of the female issues to which I had not been sensitive. Fiona re-sparked the awareness while reminding me of how much young people can really make a difference when they channel their energies into solving problems. Listen to her enthusiasm as she skillfully articulates what she's about, answering the 3 Dream Questions.

Katherine is one of the millennials who both inspires and embodies confidence. Her advice to go out and "do stuff" is not an invitation to dabble but one to "be present" in all you do with the knowledge that everything you learn and apply, the skills and knowledge, will come together and enrich and deepen the meaning of whatever lies in your future. She's one of the reasons, younger generation, that I feel a sense of reassurance and a measure of hope for the future. Katherine reminded me of conversations I have had with European friends who said they did not go to school to find jobs: they went to become more complete human beings and gain perspectives and skills that would help them in any vocation they pursued.

Bob appears to be a man in his late fifties but chronologically has many more years under his belt. When I first shook his hand I realized that I was in the presence of a lot of energy and experience. He is a master of many aspects of the material as well as the metaphysical realms. This shortened interview just touches the tip of the iceberg that is Bob. Think of Bob when you hear of a cat having nine lives. This man has seen and done it all. The longer, UNEDITED interview will shed further light, wisdom and humor onto a wealth of experiences and insights derived from them. He is a living example of his advice: Try new things.

BOB is the REAL DEAL. He is one of the most fascinating people I have interviewed. He has amassed a lot of money without attaching himself to it. His experiences around the USA and the world both round him out and expand his wisdom and perspectives. There is a shorter interview available, like a free taste sample at an ice cream store. I suggest experiencing both interviews: they were filmed separately with varied observations and information. Dive into Bob and relish the wit and wisdom of someone whose life began during the Great Depression. Bob is an invaluable resource we all should all consume, gorge ourselves. I love this guy.

Brandon is a one of those people you just have smile with upon first meeting. His countenance is a mixture of focus and yet a bit of the happy-go-lucky comes out during light conversation. He is accomplished in his field of engineering and will be traveling to Europe shortly to apply his skills and expand them, along with other facets of his life. Young people should be motivated here to follow their dreams and to continue to cultivate that curiosity of the world with which we are all born.

Chris is an example of someone who is brilliant but, like many of us, finds himself looking for some permanent moorings and direction in his life. Most would say he has already arrived, graduating high in his class from a prestigious university. We, Chris, Brandon (previous interview) and I had some interesting conversation after the interviews which were impromptu and without the voice recorder that I have used in other interviews. The locations for both interviews were poorly selected but were spontaneous and authentic.

Chris reminded me a bit of Katherine in Vermont's interview except her perspective was that all of the experiences brought her to the successful place where she now finds herself whereas most of us are always seeking the "silver bullet" or the one thing.

I really enjoyed the energy and the brilliance of Chris and Brandon. I would love to keep in touch as they excel in everything they do, and they will.

"My dream is to keep dreaming!" ANA is absolutely delightful and authentic in her enthusiastic and inspirational attitude and work ethic. Watch and listen to her: you'll smile and want to be a better person. There really are no descriptive words that will do her justice. You will just have to experience her for yourself.

Finally a Bostonian accent. Bill whipped through the three dream questions in record time. He is high energy and, as you will see, very satisfied with how his dreams from his childhood have unfolded. There was a movie years ago called The Secret which told Bill's story, continued conscious focus will bring about the reality you are seeking. Bill's love of everything train shines through as well as his humanity and good nature. Thank you Bill.

Traveling keeps the childlike curiosity alive in us. Nancy is another energetic and purpose-driven go-getter. She is a smiling, quick-to-laugh, dynamo who serves her family and community in a variety of ways. her perspectives are fresh and timeless simultaneously. Draw on her energy and wisdom. Her insights on living with energy and direction will make both smile and reflect.

Enjoy!!!!

The people who witness others doing bad stuff and do nothing may be just as culpable as those who commit them.

I am running out of superlatives to describe the people I'm interviewing. My appreciation for their wisdom and insights touch me. Pat was such a chance meeting, maybe not. I almost weep as I edit these interviews. Watch and bask in her authentic and heartfelt perspective on life as she describes her dreams of a more equitable world.

This interview is with a young father who is about to make a major move across the country with his little family. He advises us, especially the youth, to not let opportunities slip by. He seems to be reflecting about some of the opportunities that may have passed him by but is determined to make some significant contributions to humanity, directly as well as through providing opportunities and an enriched environment for his daughter to develop into a contributor as well. This particular interview is a reminder to all of us to think of our dreams and do those things we dream of doing.

I interviewed Betty at a meat processing and packaging plant and market that she and her husband started back in 1980. She is marvelously real and engaging. She’s living the American Dream. Enjoy her personality, insights and advice.

This is a a group of interviews in and around Butte Montana. Most of the people did not want to be videoed so it is my voice throughout. There was such a variety of folks. I hope you'll enjoy the insights and wisdom of these folks. I fell in love with Butte, the people and the setting. The good weather was probably a factor.

Enjoy Kathy's openness and honesty. She joins the cadre of capable and caring interviewees.

Nick is a school teacher so we had an immediate affinity, common ground. You will enjoy his refreshing candor as well as his wisdom. This interview reinforces my experience over the past three decades that some of the world's choicest people can be found loving and instructing our children in the myriad schools across the country, the planet.

There was so much Blair and I spoke of, her experiences in Vietnam and her childhood, that it was better not to publish. Blair brings home some of the lessons I have been learning over the past 50 years and particularly the past 8 months, since I began interviewing in Utah. I was touched by her grace, sincerity and vulnerability. I teared up as I edited this video as preconceptions and and impediments that have kept me from seeing people as they really are seemed to dissipate.

I met Angela and her son in a Walmart in Oregon in November 2019. I was fascinated by the recycling machines in the front area of the store. I have driven across the country and have not noticed the machines in other locales though I am sure they are there.

Besides getting a crash course in recycling I got some wisdom from both of them, hopes and dreams as well as some advice based on personal experience.

What would you change if you could make a change in the world? Vicki, who I met on a flight from Seattle to Salt Lake City shares the change she would make.

There was an immediate recognition of shared passions when I met Jeff. We discovered our mutual love for exploring, adventure and especially for people within a minute during our first conversation. Jeff gives us sound advice, encouraging us to "go for it." He's not the first to say it but his context is unique and engaging.

Jeff is on a quest, full of imagination and adventure. He's moving about the country and explains and documents the experience and his philosophy on his website. We both refer to ourselves as vagabonds.

This is a signature interview. Janet is 1/2 Native American and is very conversant as well as emerged in the spiritual and healing practices of many traditions. She, DALLIN in Orem and ANTONIO in Las Vegas NM bring a groundedness to the indigenous American perspective: They exemplify the Dreamcatching theme. It is Dallin who plays the flute and drum that you hear underneath each interview.

Janet is an optimist at heart and she reflects a hopefulness through her healing philosophies and more importantly through her practices. In short, what she says and does is who she is. I wanted to stay longer in Pennsylvania to learn more about her, to experience her work as well as her essence. Hopefully, you will have some similar sympathetic vibes as you listen and think, or as she would counsel: feel the energies around what she represents.

Anonymous is a very sensitive woman, accomplished in many ways. She has a reverence for all life and a strong sense of right and wrong. I imagine her as someone who cheers for the underdog.

She makes some revelations that normally would stop me from publishing this video but she consented to allow it because of the passion that she feels for the topics and questions discussed.

This is the first in a series of videos about people's hopes and dreams in which you learn their perspectives as well. These people are sacred to me, even those with world view that I do not necessarily share. I have fallen in love with each of them in a very healthy way, methinks.

This particular video will probably be part of my introduction to a companion website to 3dreamquestion.com. The companion website will be RDreamPlace.com

I met Angela and her son in a Walmart in Oregon in November 2019. I was fascinated by the recycling machines in the front area of the store. I have driven across the country and have not noticed the machines in other locales though I am sure they are there.
