Meet Rebecca Tolin, Almost-Participant in Thursday's SDSU Filmmaker's Showcase
We already learned David Corrales is one talented guy but I’d be remiss not to mention our fabulous Co-Producer, Stephanie Oberto. Also a senior film student at SDSU, Stephanie brought real dedication and skill to the project. She did a lot of heavy lifting behind the scenes, and seemed to have a natural affinity with goats! http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/1… http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/1…— May 17, 2012 11:55 a.m.
Meet Rebecca Tolin, Almost-Participant in Thursday's SDSU Filmmaker's Showcase
I’m touched by the most evocative comments. Startaster, your chronicle of being forced to participate in killing a sentient being, a friend even, is truly chilling. Sounds like it opened a well of compassion in you, one that is rare, necessary and admirable. Jamesgmitchell, I enjoy that quote of Adyashanti’s, as I do his teachings. Certainly, I benefit from examining my choices and feelings ever more deeply. It seems we must open our own “inner life” to grow capacity to feel others, as Startaster so eloquently suggests. Our environment reveals that we have indeed become desensitized to the redwood trees and all the natural world. What we eat is complex and personal. Bodies need different foods to thrive. I learn this by tuning into my body, and ultimately the world around me. Thanks to you both for offering compelling odes to the thoughtful consideration of our choices – living wisdom that comes through feeling and real-life experience, rather than dogma.— May 17, 2012 11:37 a.m.
