I'm lonely.... for a person in my life who thinks deeply like this gentleman and can express it. He brought me to tears. I'm surrounded by people going on about TV shows, nail polish, football, and they see nothing in nature. Trees, to them, are only green blobs in the distance. I feel at peace and utterly content when I am alone in nature. I feel alone in a crowd of people. From the comments below, there are others like me out there, but I can't find them because we sit quietly in the room of people, waiting to escape to our place of peace.
Thank you for sharing your deep thoughts, lots to think about. We really wish for you that you can find a like-minded person to share peaceful times in nature. Sending you warm hugs and strength for the walk ahead, may something marvellous happen. Justine and Michael. 💚
This gentleman. Unexamined life crushed under bludgeoning economic disaster of shopping. And he articulates this heartfelt. The roof over our heads is a vulnerable atmosphere. My life aboard a sailboat in the wild of Pacific northwest witness the constant struggle of the few against corporations seeing money not the magic.
Yes, there are many others out there like you (us). I never seem to be “at home” until I am on my farm, in nature. I can sit for hours just watching nature in the forest that surround my place. It’s therapeutic and after grinding hours in the professional world it’s a welcome solace at the end of the week. I have been planning my farm, the orchard, the wash room where I wash my fruits and vegetables for years, now it’s becoming a reality. A place for me to live life at my own choosing!
even after all these years (I'm 61) I still remember the day as if it were yesterday; the day I stated my individuality on my path to today. it was the second day of my first grade experience. I was 5, soon to turn 6 in a few more days (yes, I was an early starter even then) and my teach was attempting to guide me to compliance with standardization of the childhood experience. I was already headstrong and highly independent with a desire for learning and understanding. I didn't recite the morning prayer, didn't stand for "pledges" or the normal conformations of the beginning of the school day. I remember her pleading with me, almost cajoling me to join in. the phrase "don't you want to be like the others?" and me response of "no thank you. I'm not like the others. I'm an individual."..... wafted in the air...... my path was set in stone. the path I've walked throughout my life, and will continue along my way. highs, lows, good times and bad, all intermingle through the mental movie that is my life. I wouldn't change any 1 along this journey. life is 1 hellofa ride...... live it. love it. enjoy the ride......
Thank you for sharing your personal experiences with us, your uniqueness,... Carry on living and loving life whatever comes your way. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

I was crying throughout this one. Not sadness, just overwhelming feelings of the beauty of it all. This really captures what it is to be alive. Thank you so much. Modern life seeks to grind us down, these wonderful films remind us of what's really happening, what's really important.
Thank you for letting yourself be touched by his words, for allowing yourself to cry. Sometimes that's so important. Lovely that the different videos mean so much to you. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
❤ so true. I feel the same every time one of the little films pop up ❤ they always seem to come at the right time for me. And this one had my cry too but not sad tears. Xx
Cryed my eyes out, 14:44 it was so beautiful, truly love this. Thank- 'you so much for this inspiring video, it's like medicine yo my soul. I come back and watch it over and over again to remind myself that I am part of the magic😊 Happy New Year January 1st 2024❤
This has got to be one of the most exquisite channels ever. Such truly magnificent people. Gives me hope for humanity in these absolutely insane times. Thank you ❤️
We are so happy that you enjoy the videos on our channel so much, that they give you hope. And your message touches us deeply. Sending you warmest of hugs. Justine and Michael. 💚
" I am aware that it's autumn for me", we look back on our lives and look forward to our remaining years with gratitude. What a wonderful and inspiring message, thank you.
I’ve watched this gentle soul’s video several times already and have shared it with those who I feel need to hear the message and watch the beauty springing from these video. It’s like listening to a beautiful piece of music. This channel is so very important for anyone needing a good dose of wisdom and hope. Gratitude to all involved here. It fills my heart each time I watch (and re-watch).
Your words touch and encourage us immensely. Lovely to read how meaningful the videos are to you. Thank you for sharing them with others. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
My favourite video so far. Harry's words resonated deeply with me. I love his appreciation and respect for nature and the joy he finds in everyday moments. ❤
Such an urge in the magic of life: to go with it, follow it, be one with it. How fortunate I am to have known, and been "tied to" someone who has shown me the way! 😊
Yes, I love this - we are magic ... we are so unique .... thank you for reminding me. Life and all in it is pure magic!!!! The grass and the weeds are all magic to enjoy, their part in nature is amazing - the natural world as you say!
I love it when he says he knows he’s old, that’s what he’s always wanted to be. 😊 May we all have the gift of growing old and gray. Rocking in our chairs and waking up each day with the sunrise… 😊
I love all your videos but this one I have to say jumps out at me and really hits home. I’m 36 but try to live deeply while not losing the magic of life as most of society seems to do and videos like this inspire me to keep on this path.
Lovely to read that this video was so special to you. So glad that Harry's words inspired. Keep on enjoying the magical things around you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Beautifully said… we are all interconnected with nature whether we recognize it or not… but getting older… I notice the smaller things I’ve overlooked previously… more now. Being on a beach or in a field… I am in my church… connected to something much deeper and bigger and beyond myself… an awareness of time… the colors of autumn… my favorite season… along with spring… and the new life it brings. I recently listened to a musician… who started painting over the last few years… and said… I never knew there were so many shades of green… till I started painting… it’s the being aware… that observation of what surrounds you… that makes me aware of things I cherish now… I may have overlooked being younger. Life’s lessons… can only be learned by having lived… then you learn that maybe the small things are actually the big things… and of great significance… savor them all… 🌜🌞🌛
So many lovely thoughts and experiences shared in your message, thank you so much. Enjoy life with all small things, the beauty around you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
“ we are part of the natural world”.. yes, when He created us ..He placed us in a garden.. not a city.. not a high rise.. not a 9-5 grind.. but.. in a garden. And there He would come in the cool of the day and walk with us💜
Using the word magic in everyday life has changed it quite drastically. When I look around me, I see the magic everywhere. I stop to notice and appreciate the beauty of everything, of simply being alive and the wonder of existence. I try to use the word in conversation with others, in case it might spark something in someone else. It's so sad to see how most folk just don't see or feel the magic. It's snuffed out of us from a young age. No matter how hard and brutal life is, there is always beauty and magic everywhere, we just need to realize that. It makes the difficult times just a little easier, when we realize that so many of our worries and stresses aren't often as big as we make them. At the end of the day, this beautiful world gives us everything we need to both survive and thrive. ❤️🌲
This is lovely. I felt that part when he was talking about growing up in an area surrounded by countryside and valuing it while it was there. I spent my teenage years in a relatively small town that still had so much of the country around it and through it. There definitely was a magic to it that I recognized. There was no where in town that you went where you didn't pass a farm or large open fields. Some magazine rated it as one of the best places in the US to live and as a result a large influx of people began moving there while I went off into the world. They were already cutting down the trees as I left to cram in row after row and block after block of middle income housing. Going back I felt a deep sadness that what it was that made this place so special was gone and there is no way to explain it to the people who live there now. It is unrecognizable because the fields and farmlands are gone. The only green left is in precisely manicured lawns with new trees placed just so as the beautiful old ones were inconveniently placed and therefore cut down. There's a reason it's "over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go" and not "over the toll road and through the shopping district". There is a timeless magic in nature that can be felt and understood even if it cannot be quantified or verbalized.
@AngelaLochCross You articulated my childhood experience & sentiments exactly. I'm so glad I grew up when & where I did in a 50's suburbs Long Island's north shore town. I had the run of nature and plenty to explore all day until I heard my name called for supper. It was safe then to leave doors unlocked. Most kids today will never know how much the world changed in 70 years
Thank you for sharing your own experiences and thoughts, really interesting to read. We can see why Harry's message spoke to you deeply. Sorry to read that your magical place has also changed so much. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
As we are approaching our moving date, I see your message and I can totally relate. Your comment is helping me feel more grounded in our decision to move from the suburbs to the countryside as our kids are entering teen years. After seeing our little town cut down the trees and build countless condo units, we couldn't bear the claustrophobic feeling of more concrete and less nature. We had to do something. Going to nature was the only thought in our mind and the only dream in our heart.
You know I believe many of us can relate to the " small town" that many of us grew up in. Those towns are gone now for the most part. I went back to mine after being away for 40 years. Just like you. The trees are all gone. No more farms, no more empty fields of wild flowers instead it is row after row, street after street of houses with maybe 20 ft on either side. I'm was saddened. I walked my hometown downtown area remembering the decorated streets on Christmas watching the parade go by and then having hot chocolate looking into all the store windows. As I walked the downtown area I could hear the laughter of days gone by. I much prefer to be alone now. I have my tiny cottage surrounded by birds and trees and my books and I'm happy.
I am so stressed because I see so much around me and I feel the pain and human degeneration within my soul. I want to run to the hills and be free. I feel so trapped in the city, I always have and circumstances have left me with almost nothing. I really question the depth of love I have for humanity and cannot help how I feel even though some are undeserving. I feel like I was truly born in the wrong era. Harry thank you for sharing your story. It is a story I will try carry forthwith. 💚🦋
It touches us to read your message, it makes us sad. May his message encourage and inspire you on your walk through life. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Well said! This gentleman connected with my thoughts and feelings in so many ways. Uniqueness is very very rare these days! So many followers and not so many leaders of their own lives. You made my week. Thank you Heather
Live life through the heart ❤️ and you see magic everywhere. We should learn to quiet down the mind a little, and gradually, more and more stillness is coming through .That is pure magic ❤with a quiet mind, you see the world how it really is. It's s just magical ✨️
Dear Mr Owen, I wish everybody can see the magic in everything the way you do. Your lightness, your joy, the sparkle in your voice, eyes & soul are beautiful to see. Thank you for your amazingness! 🧡🍂💫🍁🧡
We appreciate your kind and touching message, we are truly happy that we could share Harry's light with so many people. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
thank you, thank you very much) I cried because of the complete coincidence with my feelings of life... I am Ukrainian... a year before the war, my friend died of cancer, and I understood the magic of life, which is scattered around and of which we are a part) then a terrible war began, which could not even be imagined in the 21st century!!! then my second friend died... and the war continues ((( and I feel crazy pain and fatigue, but I am very strangely and painfully and sincerely happy... every day... because life is magic...
What a story, wow. Thank you for sharing your experiences, feelings, pain, etc. with us. Your message goes so deep. May you be able to never lose your happiness and magic despite all that's happening around you. Sending you much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you, to have the possibility, to join in these thoughts and feelings. A wonderful portrait of a wonderful person. A Person, with whom I would Like to sit out there on a bench, takling, listening, beeing quiet, together, and get Friends.....
Sending love and honoring your experience. I pray for the safety of the world, that war would become a thing of the past as we lean into the beauty of who we truly are.✨️
Beautiful video. It took me a lifetime to realize that not fitting in was the magical gift that was God’s gift. I enjoy my alone time and feel blessed that I appreciate all that surrounds me in nature. That is where I feel my best and where I belong. I love your poem and don’t know the author but it is everything that is important to me. Yes, not fitting in is a blessing ❤
We are glad his message resonated with you deeply. Continue to enjoy your time in nature with all the magical things surrounding you. Both poems which Harry reads during this film are written by him. If you would like to know more about Harry and the books which he has published, visit his website - www.harryowen.co.za The info is also in the write up below the video. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
You have caught Harry Owen's "magic" so wonderfully, so artfully, so deeply that I am lifted up (in these, my autumn days) to a new appreciation of who I am, what I have, and where I am going. Thank you for apprising me of the magic ever before me.
Thank you for your encouraging and touching words, so glad that his message was so valuable to you. Wishing you magic autumn days. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you for your kind message and your wish about more videos about solitude. We are glad you enjoyed this one so much. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I could watch your short films for hours, like a movie. It gives so much. It's the highlight of my day when a new one comes out. And I am under it's effect for days...Thank you so much for what you do, You create magic, you are part of the magic called life. You bring us lives through your films that reminds us of the really important things in life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Can't wait for the next one! Until then I will rewatch the already existing ones, like I always do❤(*This gentleman: Harry's words brought tears to my eyes)
So touching to read what these videos mean to you, it's so encouraging for us. We plan to share many more stories, stay tuned. May there always be the right story for you. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I thought I saw this “magic” before in my life, but I had t really… until I was diagnosed with cancer. I truly saw “it”. It slowed my world down to a trickle…. a gentle hum, a slow warm breeze. I was always someone who appreciated every detail of life, the people, the animals, nature, even the hustle and bustle environment I grew up in and live in. I guess I need to notice the magic in myself more. This has forced me to look at myself, deep within. I still do appreciate everything, I’ve been guided into faith in God, faith in the Universe that we are ALWAYS connected, we just need to spend some time nurturing that connection. ❤
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. May there always be that magic in and around you. Wishing you all the best on your further journey through life. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
So viel Weisheit, Klugheit, Lebenserfahrung und Positivität - ein wunderbarer Mensch und ein ganz bezaubernder Grossvater! Vielen Dank für dieses magische Video!!!
Exquisite! I found many of the concepts described by the word, "magic" as closely aligned with our first nations people's beliefs. This way of thinking brings everything in perspective and reminds us of the importance of using our time on earth wisely, with respect and appreciation for the natural systems working together as one. And for the future of all we are part of today.
Hi. EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch one of your stories I feel inspired. Like there is a spark that has been re-ignited. I love the way you are telling the story. This gentleman has such incredible eyes. So much sparks, so much light, so much of "I am ALIVE". I just want to say BIG thank you for making these. You are an inspiration to me, sometimes you are bringing me hope when I have none left...sometimes you are the reason why I'm doing what I love...Have a beautiful day. 🤗
Thank you for your kind message. We are so glad that the videos are so meaningful, inspiring and uplifting. Thank you for being with us on our journey. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
What a precious reminder of the magic we are....to each other, to ourselves. This, and the magic living and breathing all around us in our world. Thank you, Harry....wisdom needed and well received at this time and always.
I have been through a very turbulent life, and am currently in a period of isolation due to traumatic grief. I have only been able to find peace through nature, and Harry absolutely conveyed how I feel. It is only through solitude that I have found comfort. I look forward to the magic in simplicity in life, and the gratitude for its beauty. Thank you Harry for your unique expression of life, you have given me a glimpse of hope in a very difficult time. May you always be blessed 🌿
Whatever the cause is for your grief, we are so thankful that we could share this video with you. We hope his words can help you to get through this time in your life, may they inspire and carry you on your road ahead, may there always be some hope and and light. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
When my heart feels sore and heavy, I come to watch these videos. I'm extremely grateful to have found this channel. Thank you for your incredible work. Be assured that you calm storms and warm the gloomy days of people 🤍
Your words touch and encourage us incredibly. We are so thankful that we can make a difference in people's life, can lift them up, share some light,.... Sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
It is wonderful to know that you and Harry share such a deep connection to the natural world around us. May you always see the magic! Big love. Justine and Michael. x
I love Mr Harry Owen’s wisdom and his poems. I love the way he uses the seasons as a metaphor for our own lives and growing old. Every single person who has been featured in this channel has been utterly inspiring. It just shows how much wisdom resides in ordinary human beings. And each video is so beautifully put together, showing how the simplest things in life can be so beautiful, and how nature is so restorative. And then there is the wonderful calming background soundtrack. Each video just revives the soul.
Your message touches us deeply, thank you for writing to us. We are so thankful that this video with Harry and all the other videos mean so much to you and that you enjoy the background music too. Lovely to have you with us on our journey. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you for reconnecting me to magic amid the strife and sadness of our complicated lives and encouraging me to continue to generate and celebrate it!
Your films are amongst the very few things that bring me to tears at my ripening age of 62. They are so beautiful. I have already shared them feeling I should 'prescribe' them far and wide. Do you ever show your craft of putting one together? It must take an enormous amount of work.
Thanks so much for these very kind words about the films that we share. It brings us so much joy to share these stories with you all. And no, we haven't ever made a film about our own process - but maybe one day. Sending you warm hugs. Justine and Michael x
What a wonderful thing to listen to someone speaking my language. We share that, him and i. I am certain that everything else we may have in common, or not have in common, is unimportant. A language inspired by beauty, poetry, all around miracles....thank you for seeing, feeling, being and breathing the uniqueness of our Earth Mister Unique.
Thank you for sharing. I love these videos so so so much. I just wish they were much longer. Lol. I cannot ever get enough of the wisdom that all of these people are sharing. I can listen to them for ever!! May God bless each and every one abundantly.

Yes, it can happen so easily... May his words be a reminder for us. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

We are made of stardust 💫💗✨️
Lovely! Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Tere was a moment where there were no stardust... so what we are really made from? love, bliss...?
The paradox of life. The uniqueness and sameness. The joy and sorrow. All aspects of the spectrum of life are ours to experience if we choose.
Lovely, thank you. 💚
My favourite video so far. Harry's words resonated deeply with me. I love his appreciation and respect for nature and the joy he finds in everyday moments. ❤
Nice that this video was so special for you., glad that we could share his story. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Pearls of wisdom are overflowing from this beautiful man. 💗
So wonderful to know that you connect so deeply with so much that Harry shared with us. Love and best wishes. Justine and Michael. x
This interview was an absolute treasure! Thank you for sharing.
Wow, thank you so much for your kind and encouraging message. Glad you loved it. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

Cudownie to dar❤
That's how I feel about nature❤❤❤
Nice that his message resonated with you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Me too-
Yes, I love this - we are magic ... we are so unique .... thank you for reminding me. Life and all in it is pure magic!!!! The grass and the weeds are all magic to enjoy, their part in nature is amazing - the natural world as you say!
So happy you liked Harry's story. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I love it when he says he knows he’s old, that’s what he’s always wanted to be. 😊
May we all have the gift of growing old and gray. Rocking in our chairs and waking up each day with the sunrise… 😊
💚
growing old is a privilege denied to many. I believe it is attributed to Mark Twain.
I love all your videos but this one I have to say jumps out at me and really hits home. I’m 36 but try to live deeply while not losing the magic of life as most of society seems to do and videos like this inspire me to keep on this path.
Lovely to read that this video was so special to you. So glad that Harry's words inspired. Keep on enjoying the magical things around you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Beautiful.. keep doing you ❤
I’m 36 too and I’m so happy to read about living deeply. That’s been my goal in this life. To enjoy and take it all in. Find beauty everywhere. :)

“ we are part of the natural world”.. yes, when He created us ..He placed us in a garden.. not a city.. not a high rise.. not a 9-5 grind.. but.. in a garden. And there He would come in the cool of the day and walk with us💜
We are so glad to hear that this story resonated so deeply with you 💚
I am part of magic🍀🍂✨ thank you for reminding us to live being part of it.
Nice that the video was inspiring. Yes, we can all be part of the magic. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Using the word magic in everyday life has changed it quite drastically. When I look around me, I see the magic everywhere. I stop to notice and appreciate the beauty of everything, of simply being alive and the wonder of existence.
I try to use the word in conversation with others, in case it might spark something in someone else. It's so sad to see how most folk just don't see or feel the magic. It's snuffed out of us from a young age. No matter how hard and brutal life is, there is always beauty and magic everywhere, we just need to realize that. It makes the difficult times just a little easier, when we realize that so many of our worries and stresses aren't often as big as we make them. At the end of the day, this beautiful world gives us everything we need to both survive and thrive. ❤️🌲
Beautiful, thought-provoking and encouraging, thank you so much. Continue to enjoy the magic around you every day. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
❤, yes indeed ❤
This is lovely. I felt that part when he was talking about growing up in an area surrounded by countryside and valuing it while it was there. I spent my teenage years in a relatively small town that still had so much of the country around it and through it. There definitely was a magic to it that I recognized. There was no where in town that you went where you didn't pass a farm or large open fields. Some magazine rated it as one of the best places in the US to live and as a result a large influx of people began moving there while I went off into the world. They were already cutting down the trees as I left to cram in row after row and block after block of middle income housing. Going back I felt a deep sadness that what it was that made this place so special was gone and there is no way to explain it to the people who live there now. It is unrecognizable because the fields and farmlands are gone. The only green left is in precisely manicured lawns with new trees placed just so as the beautiful old ones were inconveniently placed and therefore cut down. There's a reason it's "over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go" and not "over the toll road and through the shopping district". There is a timeless magic in nature that can be felt and understood even if it cannot be quantified or verbalized.

You articulated my childhood experience & sentiments exactly.
I'm so glad I grew up when & where I did in a 50's suburbs Long Island's north shore town. I had the run of nature and plenty to explore all day until I heard my name called for supper. It was safe then to leave doors unlocked. Most kids today will never know how much the world changed in 70 years
Thank you for sharing your own experiences and thoughts, really interesting to read. We can see why Harry's message spoke to you deeply. Sorry to read that your magical place has also changed so much. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
As we are approaching our moving date, I see your message and I can totally relate. Your comment is helping me feel more grounded in our decision to move from the suburbs to the countryside as our kids are entering teen years. After seeing our little town cut down the trees and build countless condo units, we couldn't bear the claustrophobic feeling of more concrete and less nature. We had to do something. Going to nature was the only thought in our mind and the only dream in our heart.
@@tarotducheneblanc I wish you the best of luck and every happiness in your new home. :)
You know I believe many of us can relate to the " small town" that many of us grew up in. Those towns are gone now for the most part. I went back to mine after being away for 40 years. Just like you. The trees are all gone. No more farms, no more empty fields of wild flowers instead it is row after row, street after street of houses with maybe 20 ft on either side. I'm was saddened. I walked my hometown downtown area remembering the decorated streets on Christmas watching the parade go by and then having hot chocolate looking into all the store windows. As I walked the downtown area I could hear the laughter of days gone by. I much prefer to be alone now. I have my tiny cottage surrounded by birds and trees and my books and I'm happy.
I am so stressed because I see so much around me and I feel the pain and human degeneration within my soul. I want to run to the hills and be free. I feel so trapped in the city, I always have and circumstances have left me with almost nothing. I really question the depth of love I have for humanity and cannot help how I feel even though some are undeserving. I feel like I was truly born in the wrong era. Harry thank you for sharing your story. It is a story I will try carry forthwith. 💚🦋
It touches us to read your message, it makes us sad. May his message encourage and inspire you on your walk through life. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

Lovely, we are so happy that we could share his magical story with you. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
thank you, thank you very much) I cried because of the complete coincidence with my feelings of life... I am Ukrainian... a year before the war, my friend died of cancer, and I understood the magic of life, which is scattered around and of which we are a part) then a terrible war began, which could not even be imagined in the 21st century!!! then my second friend died... and the war continues ((( and I feel crazy pain and fatigue, but I am very strangely and painfully and sincerely happy... every day... because life is magic...
What a story, wow. Thank you for sharing your experiences, feelings, pain, etc. with us. Your message goes so deep. May you be able to never lose your happiness and magic despite all that's happening around you. Sending you much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

Gratitude for everything you have in any shape or form brings inner peace and happiness beyond compare.
Lovely words, thank you. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Beautiful video. It took me a lifetime to realize that not fitting in was the magical gift that was God’s gift. I enjoy my alone time and feel blessed that I appreciate all that surrounds me in nature. That is where I feel my best and where I belong. I love your poem and don’t know the author but it is everything that is important to me. Yes, not fitting in is a blessing ❤
❤
We are glad his message resonated with you deeply. Continue to enjoy your time in nature with all the magical things surrounding you.
Both poems which Harry reads during this film are written by him. If you would like to know more about Harry and the books which he has published, visit his website - www.harryowen.co.za The info is also in the write up below the video. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
You have caught Harry Owen's "magic" so wonderfully, so artfully, so deeply that I am lifted up (in these, my autumn days) to a new appreciation of who I am, what I have, and where I am going. Thank you for apprising me of the magic ever before me.
Thank you for your encouraging and touching words, so glad that his message was so valuable to you. Wishing you magic autumn days. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
I particularly like the episodes about solitude. You must continue to make this type. Thanks.
Thank you for your kind message and your wish about more videos about solitude. We are glad you enjoyed this one so much. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

Deep and magic ✨✨✨
Very happy you enjoyed it. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
The beauty of all of us being connected through his words. That's magic too.
Beautifully said, thank you. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
I thought I saw this “magic” before in my life, but I had t really… until I was diagnosed with cancer. I truly saw “it”. It slowed my world down to a trickle…. a gentle hum, a slow warm breeze. I was always someone who appreciated every detail of life, the people, the animals, nature, even the hustle and bustle environment I grew up in and live in.
I guess I need to notice the magic in myself more. This has forced me to look at myself, deep within.
I still do appreciate everything, I’ve been guided into faith in God, faith in the Universe that we are ALWAYS connected, we just need to spend some time nurturing that connection. ❤
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. May there always be that magic in and around you. Wishing you all the best on your further journey through life. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
AMEN
I embrace this wonderful man with all my love and gratitude 🙏

That's great. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Exquisite! I found many of the concepts described by the word, "magic" as closely aligned with our first nations people's beliefs. This way of thinking brings everything in perspective and reminds us of the importance of using our time on earth wisely, with respect and appreciation for the natural systems working together as one. And for the future of all we are part of today.
So glad that his message resonated so much with you. Thank you for sharing these thoughts. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
You could see the sense of fulfillment he has I hope I find my magic one day 🙏🏾
Maybe this video can help you on your way to find your magic. Sending you warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

I have been through a very turbulent life, and am currently in a period of isolation due to traumatic grief. I have only been able to find peace through nature, and Harry absolutely conveyed how I feel. It is only through solitude that I have found comfort. I look forward to the magic in simplicity in life, and the gratitude for its beauty. Thank you Harry for your unique expression of life, you have given me a glimpse of hope in a very difficult time. May you always be blessed 🌿
Whatever the cause is for your grief, we are so thankful that we could share this video with you. We hope his words can help you to get through this time in your life, may they inspire and carry you on your road ahead, may there always be some hope and and light. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

I love Mr Harry Owen’s wisdom and his poems. I love the way he uses the seasons as a metaphor for our own lives and growing old.
Every single person who has been featured in this channel has been utterly inspiring. It just shows how much wisdom resides in ordinary human beings.
And each video is so beautifully put together, showing how the simplest things in life can be so beautiful, and how nature is so restorative. And then there is the wonderful calming background soundtrack. Each video just revives the soul.
Your message touches us deeply, thank you for writing to us. We are so thankful that this video with Harry and all the other videos mean so much to you and that you enjoy the background music too. Lovely to have you with us on our journey. Sending much love, Justine and Michael. 💚
Thank you for reconnecting me to magic amid the strife and sadness of our complicated lives and encouraging me to continue to generate and celebrate it!

You are welcome, so happy you enjoyed the thoughts he shared. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Your films are amongst the very few things that bring me to tears at my ripening age of 62. They are so beautiful. I have already shared them feeling I should 'prescribe' them far and wide.
Do you ever show your craft of putting one together? It must take an enormous amount of work.
Thanks so much for these very kind words about the films that we share. It brings us so much joy to share these stories with you all. And no, we haven't ever made a film about our own process - but maybe one day. Sending you warm hugs. Justine and Michael x
This is gold.
Thank you so much for your kind message. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚
Magic is supernatural power ! 💙 Our heavenly father’s power ! 💙
💚
What a wonderful thing to listen to someone speaking my language. We share that, him and i. I am certain that everything else we may have in common, or not have in common, is unimportant. A language inspired by beauty, poetry, all around miracles....thank you for seeing, feeling, being and breathing the uniqueness of our Earth Mister Unique.
A deeply touching message, so lovely to read that he speaks your language. Warmest hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚
Спасибо за эти мудрые, бесценные,жизненные советы.🙏🤗
