Recognizing this ray of sunshine... Exactly seven years ago today, Kelly popped a big question: Will you come with me to South America? I'm leaving in two weeks, now's your chance, I might never come back. We were driving home from a thrilling tour with our circus crew. I had just let go of a lot of things in my life after falling in love together at Burning Man and other festivals, but this was still a big decision. I ultimately sold most of my possessions, and joined her in love and service on a 7 month documentary project across South America. I took a leap and my life has never been the same. For one, life's much more colorful. I was reminded of this when a child asked me yesterday "why is your car painted so many colors!?" In response to seeing The Joy Ride art car for the first time. The answer: my wife is a very vibrant lady! She took me by the hand 7 years ago, and guided me on a wild adventure, learning as she pulled me along showing me the ways of vagabond backpacking. We didn't have a plan, but we had a strong intention, and that led us on some many journeys that will give me great stories to tell the grandchildren one day. Perhaps even a book. Thank you Kelly for holding my hand and leading me into an expansive life of creativity! I lava you to infinity!!! And now that I'm the one grabbing your hand and asking you to take the leap creating our kid's tv show this month, I feel like it's all come full circle. Twin Flames and teachers forever. @yeskelly you illuminate my soul. #lensoflove #gratitude #love #thegreenhearts #positivity #colorful #sunshine #inspiration #travel #adventure #nomads #vagabonds #nature #fox #circus #burningman #festivals #sunhat #tree (at Austin, Texas)

"Here's my first born." We Stiltwalkers tend to have this effect on families... Oh wait, they just wanted a super high five! Look for our CIRCUS PICNIC troupe at ACL Kiddie Limits this weekend! @yeskelly you light up my life! #circuspicnic #aclfestival #zilkerpark #stiltwalker #family #kids #inspiration #magic #acl #festival #costumes #tall #love #positivity #colorful #red #stilts (at Zilker Park)

ACL on STILTS. When you've been filming a festival for 10 years, the biggest challenge is to capture it from a new perspective. Mission Accomplished.

Hollywood Homage at ACL Festival in Austin! For now, I prefer to be down to earth just a hop, skip, and jump into Barton Springs. It's such a joy to work with my favorite people shooting @aclfestival with C3 presents! #acl #zilkerpark #videographer #cameraman #dop #cinematographer #sonyfs7 #hollywood #bartonsprings #austin #atx #yeti (at Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL))

My favorite tree in my favorite park. @aclfestival day two in the can! I learned how important it is to be patient during golden hour, even when it's not golden. My mentor Terry Stewart used to say "Never give up on a sunset." And this was the perfect example. Although it was looking overcast and with little hope for the sun to peek through the clouds again, this happened. #aclfestival #photography #themagichour #tree #sunset #zilkerpark #austin #atx #acl2016 #inspiration #instagramoftheday #instafamous #goldenhour #nature #austinparks (at Zilker Park)

I love these clowns! Our kid's tv show is coming to life! This weekend's character workshop has been so fun! I feel very grateful to be supported by our creative consultant @facundogimenezofficial acclaimed international artist and performer from @cirquedusoleil 's Kurios show (a very exciting collaboration being released soon!) Learning from the best on how to express our essence with vulnerability through his clowning philosophy was a dream come true. I believe that the role of the clown is very misunderstood, and peeling the onion to reveal our truth has been a fantastic foundation to creating honest characters for our show. There will be no red noses worn in our show, but our hearts will be exposed--and I believe that's what the world needs more than ever: Love in a time of disconnection. I am overwhelmed with joy to be surrounded by such bright, multitalented artists! Thank you all for your amazing energy, and I look forward to climbing up in the treehouse together! #mrgreenheart #clown #inspiration #magic #kids #austin #cirque #artist #creativity (at Bee Cave, Texas)

Took a ride on the Zilker Zephyr with our little niece and nephew. Half way through the ride, I jumped ship. I brought my camera with Glidecam to get the most cinematic shots possible of this historic maiden voyage. After a mile of sprinting to keep up, I was sure glad I've been training! This weekend has been a real joy to spend quality time with family. This week we're diving headlong into our character workshop with @facundogimenezofficial for the kid's tv show pilot. So it's been great to be in the imagination headspace chasing after these little ones. 🎈💚📽 #zilkerzephyr #Zilkerpark #bartonsprings #austin #atx #explore #family #adventure #train #glidecam #sonya7sii (at Zilker Park)

I love my little niece! And she loves little bunnies! (at Travis Country Neighborhood)

Last night, the moon shared this message: "When you are fulfilled, you shine." Becoming a regular at the free night swims at Barton Springs has been so good for my soul. Some friends have described it as the perfect way to "wash away the day." As busy as I've been lately, I need to punctuate my day with a plunge. And it's turned into a kind of ceremony. A daily baptism. No matter how busy you are, you can still create little holy moments for yourself. In fact, the more pressures you have in your work life, the more important it is for us to be chasing the sacred. Wim Hof, aka The Iceman, says "God is Cold". For him, becoming comfortable with submerging in stingingly cold water is something very spiritual. And through cold exposures coupled with his breathing techniques, he's developed a way to actually regulate his autonomic nervous system. Check out the Vice documentary about him, truly fascinating. This week I'm so thankful to have brother bears that are down to go for a late night swim. It's free. It's fun. And as evidenced by what the message the moon shared, it's also fulfilling. I've vowed to stay in tune with the natural elements this year, especially the moon. The self reflection available in just a one minute daily gaze at the night sky is truly stellar 🙏😇🌕✨ Snapped this photo after my swim with a Sony A7sii camera, the ultimate beast in lowlight capabilities! #lensoflove #bartonsprings #atx #austin #nightsky #stars #moon #photography #inspiration #spiritual #dailyritual #sacred #water #coldplunge #wimhof #iceman #sonya7sii #sony #canon28mm (at Barton Springs Pool)
