rising mountain-top to relish the magic within the simple moment. He added, “All there will ever be is what’s happening [right] here...and the decisions we make in this moment, which are based on either love or fear”. The grads seemed profoundly


inspired by Carrey’s words, but words alone have a pretty short half-life. How are the words actually lived? That’s the kingdom’s key... and Jim’s Midas touch was most reflected in the gold of his interactions with everyone he encountered. Watching him in action in the three days leading up to the big event, I marvelled at how he almost seemed to stop time while connecting so deeply with every individual – even in the midst of time pressures and throngs of admirers. His presence reminded me of the timeless experience of mystic poet William Blake,


To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour.


After the graduation ceremony, for example, he seized the moment – looking me deeply in the eyes, shaking my hand, and gave the production team the most heartfelt thank you for all we had done to have the production come off so well. A beautiful sincere presence was maintained as he shook the hand of every single graduate, signed autographs, posed for


pics with the Fairfield police and, in every instance, his loved flowed. This presence was clearly reflected in his inspiring words to the grads, “My soul is not contained


within the limits of my body. My body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul – one unified field of nothing dancing for no particular reason... except maybe to comfort and entertain itself. As that shift happens in you, you won’t be feeling the world. You’ll be felt by it – you will be embraced by it. Now, I’m always at the beginning. I have a reset button called presence and I ride that button constantly.” I, for one, was inspired


by witnessing his engaging process. A ‘true man’, Jim seemed to fully embody his closing charge, “Choose love... and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart”. Thank you Jim Carrey for touching our hearts, and for walking your talk so well.
