Thank you. Justine & Michael đ
There are moments in life when we realise that holding on too tightly to the past keeps us from stepping fully into the present. The people and places that shaped us remain part of us, but at some point, we have to start creating our own stories, ones that bring meaning and joy to the lives weâre living now.
Life has a way of softening when we slow down enough to notice it â the rhythm of everyday things, the quiet beauty in whatâs real and unpolished, the comfort of simplicity. Often, itâs in those ordinary moments that we find the deepest sense of peace.
May this be a gentle reminder to pause every now and then. To breathe, to look around, and to feel the quiet satisfaction of being right where you are â no longer reaching back, not rushing ahead, simply here.
Featuring Kim Bahra.
Filmed in Beaufort West, South Africa.
All of our films are made possible through the generous support of our patrons.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael. We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth â that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.
In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy.

You can also sign up to take part in the Reflections of Life Intentional Journey, receiving a digital copy of each card direct to your email, over a consecutive 52 day period - inous.org/reflections-of-life-intentional-email-journey
