A remix by lestaunord and Project Number One

We are very excited that writer / poet lestaunord from Normandy created a remix of our intro video for Project Number One. Brian took the opportunity to do a quick edit to create a video using her sound poem and her lyrics - loving the direction this project is going! lestaunord says “It’s like an artistic dialogue between the three of us.”

C: We're collaborating on some poetry that you've written and combining that with some visuals that we’re creating together, and we've posted the first one and it's called Trust. What can you say about this?

B: A lot of the poems I've written are kind of a dialogue with my inner voice. Many were written at a time when I was going through a difficult time in my life, trying to make sense of what was going on. 

C: So this poem, Trust, what can you say about it?

B: "You catch me when I land on the moment your heart kicks in."  I guess what it is, is self-compassion. Giving yourself a break and not being so hard on yourself, knowing that, you have heart and that there's something in you that will always look out for you. 

C: That's a thing that's happened in your life... 

B: Yeah, there were times during the dark times of losing both parents in a short time period, going through a divorce, breakdowns, loss of employment etc., I kind of hit a bit of a low in my life. And when I would remember to go easy on myself it helped me keep going.  

C: That's good wisdom for all of us. 

B: It came from the fact that I had supportive people around me that were helping and caring for me at that time. Having that support allowed me to be able to reflect and actually practice self-compassion.

C: You discovered the power of a good support system.  

B: Yeah. And in the end I think you got to look out for yourself in a lot of ways but without the help of others that can be a lot more difficult.

C: What would you like people to know if they're going through hard times?
