I was rally moved by your post, Gary, even mentioned that I had wanted to print it out as a reminder how limited our perspective is when it comes to how our bodies function. It filled me with anxiety when reading it and I tried to carry that angst in the video to portray the emotional roller coaster you have endured. Thank you for your courage throughout your misfortune and your strength to help others get through theirs.

A synergistic combination, elevating both contributors. This is good, very, very good -- and very, very disturbing. You succeeded, Tonika, in capturing and conveying the frenetic angst that is attempting to take over our world. Thank you both.

Saw it this morning~ a colleague in South Africa shared it. Brilliantly done and your words quite impactful.

That was powerful! The essay on its own was powerful enough but the added dimensions Tonika brings amplify the writing and it really hits you how profoundly unwell our whole system is, and how that shows up in our bodily systems.

Thank you both.

Visceral Adventure is an *awesome* collaborator, and I love seeing how she outdoes herself in each new creation!

She did a spectacular job with our first video together, and I’m looking forward to more co-creations:

Beautifully done but very disturbing. Because it's very accurate.
