   One day, I was walking on a cold winter night, because I couldn’t sleep, and I must have took a shortcut and lost my way with it getting late and cold, I felt alone.     Out of nowhere, a elderly man took my hand and led me home, somehow I knew no-one else could see Him, thou He was walking there beside me.     Somehow, I just knew in my heart, He was the answer to my long lost prayers. With life held of troubled times, and have us down to our knees, there's always been someone, to come along, and comfort us.     I believe there are angels among us, sent down from somewhere above in our time of despair. In our time of need and darkest hour, a kind word from a stranger, one who lent a helping hand, a call from a friend in the moment of despair.     How it’s kind of funny, at the dark end of the road, where the light grows so dim, a call comes to just say “I understand.” Funny just how that someone appears...

We are all in "that line" and never know when it will be us. We can not move to the back of the line or step out or ask someone to take our place. While we wait, we can not avoid this line. You must make moments, priorities, and time count. Make your gifts know to a nobody, so they feel like somebody. Make your voice heard and small things big. Make someone smile and change they way they feel. Make up and create peace. Ensure to tell your family, friends and people they are loved and to have no regrets. In the end, when the your heart beats no more, the blood in your veins moves no more and returns to the sea, and the earth in your bones returns to ashes, then you will remember, it is you who belong to the land and not the land belonging to you. Ensure you are ready in that moment, because,“Every second someone leaves this world,” and the next one, just might be you. Photo by: Logan Zillmer      

          On Thrusday,  November 8, 2018, at approximately 6:30AM PST, a camp fire destroyed multiple communities in Butte County, California. This Movie betrays the events as they unfolded. If "Old Yellow" made you cry, This Movie will have you in tears 5 Minutes in to it.            Fire on the Ridge (2020) is the first narrative feature film (enacted movie ) about the Camp Fire which destroyed multiple communities in Butte County, California.        The Camp Fire has been designated, the deadliest wildfire in California history. Now Camp Fire survivors tell their own, real-life stories, and many re-enact the scenes which destroyed nearly 19,000 buildings, caused over 86 deaths in the first hours, and left 52,000 people fleeing for their lives. Some 250 volunteers have united to tell the story of the many Civilians, Fire Fighters and Police that sacrificed their own...
