Slow Down

[Music] the hardest thing you've got your corporate it's probably the codes I did try once to that's a code just a little bit the cotija combination Sunday look to the cars and just booted it that's probably the the ones they caught the island really as far as traffic goes all egg is one of the four small Isles off the west coast of Scotland you wouldn't get me off here unless I'm kicking screaming or possibly arrested [Music] based what call a erotic good since I think you know I'm sorry not every heart attacks so you get to a certain stage you think well that's not always about you know we need the center kind of a wake-up call and that's it tasty people happy you go along my uuly think and cheese in the big money silent then all of a sudden life throws you kind of a curveball and you have to stop in your tracks can effect [Music] I think landing here it's probably the biggest thing I could have ever done in my life to change my situation you have two or three ups and downs and all of a sudden you wake up one day and you think I don't want to do this anymore I've had it I've gotta go elsewhere you don't have to keep pace with a life you make it work for you I am the islands taxi sign strange because I used to think who's going to need a taxi on an island but you'd be surprised [Music] you meet people here you'd never expect to me I get to speak to you I get to find out who you are what you do so you meet a connection there I don't know everybody else but I get something from that it's a positive good feeling you meet people here that you'll end up keeping in touch with the rest of your life [Music] sometimes I think there's too much technology involved in life you know instead of actually holding a conversation with somebody you send them a message electronic message but it's not real you're not meeting people you're not grabbing somebody's hand and shaking it this area that wouldn't just no it doesn't have a mobile signal so you tend to have to talk to each other have a conversation which is a good thing so you kind of get back to you I like to call your human side where you actually speak to people and interact for them and so on [Music] that we're losing that power the art of conversation [Music] [Music] sometimes when I see the sunsets here I'll sit out in the garden I'll have a puff for my pipe I'll have a glass of whiskey and just watch the Sun dropping down there and I don't have to go and take a picture with a magic phone or whoever else I log in my head and I remember the day so a soul and their and the human brain know on a hard drive and my job here I get to tell stories I'm gonna tell the stories I like to think that it kind of brightens people's days over either you know [Music] if you're smiling it's kind of like it's a master language of friendship if elected especially when you better make funny face and all I can affect you know when I'm thumbed up after doing the tour all the people would step out and they would all show don't believe I think he says sure it's there and rain but that same event like a disc wiener it's a human nature that you want to help each other that you want to make life better for each other life has like car nothing about it you can help somebody you don't know you can do your little favor or what may seem to you to be a little favor and it may be a big thing for that person well that person might come back they might be the people that save you so yeah if you can do a good deed do a good deed you know it's not rocket science or anything when I'm going I'm going up there in the ether or whatever the only thing that I would like to think is that I have being a good person and tried to be a good person to the best of my ability as long as you know that you've done the best you can do it doesn't so much but it's giving you peace in here and peace in there it's quite a biggie [Music] [Music] thanks for watching this film all the stories we've made over the last two years have only been possible because of the support that we've received from our patrons on patreon if you'd like to help us keep these stories coming then check out our Green Renaissance page in the link below thanks a lot
