Hello from Guadalajara!

Inspration comes at the least likely of times. It´s 2am. The sun will be streching it´s first rays above the horizon in 4 hours when I´m to wake up and head to the airport to catch a flight to Mexico City.
I´ve been feeling nervous, in much the same way that I always feel before traveling, but witht he added element of having a serious endeavoru before me. However, I now feel better after havng had a brief chat with some guys who have been staying at my downstairs-neighbours´ place. Wait, I don´t just feel better. I feel INSPIRED! You see, as chance would have it, these guys have come from the west coast to Toronto to continue a documentary project that they started almost a year ago on a whim. At that time maybe they never imagined they would still be making it, let alone the turn tehy story has taken. It is even possible that they´ve traveled all this way only hit a dead end and to see their work mothballed. But that possibility doesn´t hinder them; they are fearless and driven by the warmth you get when what you´re doing resonates within you.
I suppose this happens often enough, though it might not lead you to make a film. It might do something as simple as prompt you to tell your friend about how it made you feel. Nevertheless, I think we all recognize when something makes us feel a connection to something larger than ourselves, if only for a minute. Searching for Dragons, or whatever this project is called now, has made me feel alive and connected to film, art and the world to the extent that I moved to Toronto to start to build my livelihood around that feeling. Now, back in the fold of that environment, I feel like I´m entering a temple: awed and energized.
I intend to drink deeply from the cup of knowledge and hopefully to communicate to you readers to what I learn.
We are together in a sacred quest to find the vitality in existence, today and everyday.
