Drift Assessment 2

Describe, with details, two situations during Drift 1 and/or 2 in which you felt unusually peaceful, at ease, or contemplative.

In drift 2 I felt unusually peaceful at this one point when I was walking next to what I believe is called the Milwaukee River. I walked alongside the river and followed the direction the tide was going. I must have walked for a good three city blocks without filming anything just studying the presence of some divine “mover” of the water. It was so early in the morning and there was nobody down there but myself and I just really felt like I had no worries during that time. It was almost like the river was somehow my friend leading me towards serenity.

Another event in drift to that put me at ease was when I was filming this long shot of a tree. I started filming from the bottom up of the tree and slowly covered its entire physical presence. As I filmed slowly raising the camera to study the tree, its beauty melted my heart and I just felt really tranquil and surrendered to its presence. Overall Drift 2 just brought me to a point where I felt one with nature.
