02:36Auf CODIC.
02:37Okay.
02:38What's the rush?
02:38Well, my granddaughter, her mom and mom's conservative husband are coming over to see us.
02:43Oh?
02:44When did that happen?
02:46Last night, I was meditating and my granddaughter Olivia kinda popped into my mind.
02:54Ah. It's been a long time since I've seen her so I called her mother and invited her
02:58over.
02:59She agreed but with some, uh, conditions.
03:03What's with the quote unquote?
03:04Well, it feels mighty good to be invited by somebody who doesn't bother returning my calls
03:16or even answering them.
03:17Oh, now, come on, honey.
03:18You know I'm not much of a phone talker myself.
03:21You don't even leave your house to socialize with people.
03:23Convince me you're not depressed.
03:25Well, why don't you guys come on over and see for yourself?
03:28That ought to convince you.
03:32All right.
03:33But, you know, I think it may be better if you come here.
03:37You know, Joel, he just, he'd be really uncomfortable with all the pagan stuff and the idol worship.
03:43He just, he would not want Olivia around all of the idols.
03:48Okay, what would you like for me to do with all these idols?
03:53Dad, I don't know.
03:54Just stash them in another room or toss them in the trash.
03:58I couldn't give two hoots.
04:00You couldn't give two hoots, huh?
04:03Dad, I'm just trying to be up front and clear, okay?
04:07I hear you.
04:08Listen, don't worry.
04:09I'll take care of it.
04:10Y'all just come on over.
04:13Where do we start?
04:19Let's start with that big one right there.
04:22Where do you want it?
04:24Trash.
04:24And you're absolutely sure about that?
04:29Anything for my daughter.
04:31Okay.
04:44Are you sure this is really necessary?
04:46It's an idol, isn't it?
04:47Maybe my daughter ought to be more careful what she wishes for when it comes to these graven images.
04:55Everything else will be moved to the attic for a few days.
04:58Out of curiosity, how did this all begin?
05:28This what?
05:30Your journey into Eastern religions.
05:32How did it all start?
05:33Well, the people I've told that story to generally think I need medical help, so I prefer to keep it to myself.
05:40Okay, well now I'm really curious.
05:43Come on, you look happier and healthier than like half the people out here, so spill the beans.
05:48What's your story?
05:49All right.
05:54So it was about ten years ago, and I was riding all by myself on a dark, deserted country road.
06:01Hang on.
06:01I'm going to go get the big guy.
06:04Wait, what does he have to do with this?
06:06Just hang on.
06:06Hold on now.
06:16It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows.
06:18Okay, then what's the scope?
06:20Well, it was about a year after my divorce.
06:23Okay.
06:24Start with the divorce, then.
06:26No, that's not the main story here.
06:29I mean, I'd moved on.
06:33It was more like I was figuring myself out.
06:35Well, I have to know the full story if I'm going to play my cello in the right mood.
06:39Well, I have to know the full story if I'm going to play my cello in the right mood.
07:05Hey.
07:11Hey, honey.
07:12Ready for some blood?
07:14What have you done now, Charles?
07:16Well, I had to have a little dance with a couple of fellows who weren't willing to listen.
07:20Ain't no big deal.
07:21Got hit by some rebar, but I don't think anybody around here really has the guts to throw hands with me.
07:27No, Charles.
07:27I don't trust you.
07:28I want you to go straight to a hospital.
07:30Do you understand me?
07:31I'll see you in a bit.
07:35Charles, what happened?
07:51Come on.
07:51I'm fine.
07:52I'm fine.
07:54What are you?
07:54Are you nuts, Charles?
07:58Am I supposed to do surgery or something?
08:01Are you going to help fix me up, honey, or kill me with your questions?
08:04Oh, my God.
08:06This is it.
08:07This is the last time I'm going to do this.
08:10I am just not up for this craziness.
08:14You know, you're not a wild stallion in your 20s anymore.
08:19Those biker folks, they're not your high school buddies.
08:23There's wisdom in knowing when to fight and when to hold your horses.
08:26All right.
08:32Well, you can continue to ignore me.
08:37Let me warn you.
08:39One day, I'm just going to walk away.
08:43When you wake up, I won't be here.
08:45Honey, I'm not as fancy as you.
08:57I'm plain spoken and straightforward.
09:02None of this ranting or complaining bothers many because I think we still love each other.
09:06But just this once, could you convince me that it's only frustration and that you do still really love me?
09:14Of course.
09:16Why would you even ask?
09:17You know me, don't you?
09:19Do I?
09:20Really?
09:23What do you mean?
09:24Is there something you forgot to tell me, darling?
09:34Now, don't take me wrong, Sophie.
09:36I had to ask.
09:37It's been a long time since I've seen you that happy.
09:43Is that that author from New York City?
09:47Say something.
09:48Yes.
09:49Yes, he is.
09:51Then tell me.
09:52Do you still truly love me?
10:02I'm sorry if this hurts, but I'm not entirely sure.
10:11Believe me, I never expected to find such happiness in someone else's company.
10:17But I can discuss anything.
10:22Poetry, fashion, cuisine, culture, endlessly.
10:28May he never gets bored.
10:30All we ever discuss is bikes and barbecue.
10:35There's a whole world out there, Charles, and we've never explored it.
10:40And you've never once wanted to dance in my world.
10:51And who takes these gruesome injuries so lightly?
10:56It's very unsettling.
10:57You know, you're not impressing anyone by always being the tough guy in the saloon.
11:04I don't want to deal with this the rest of my life and then one day just die in this desert.
11:10Let's cut to the chase, Sophie.
11:12You can be whoever you want, with whoever you want, whenever you want.
11:17But don't you expect me to be like you.
11:19It's been two years since you told me you didn't want to ride with me anymore.
11:24And did I say one word?
11:26Did I?
11:28Was it because you wanted me to go out riding while you stayed home and flirted with that guy?
11:32That is enough, Charles.
11:33Thirty years of marriage.
11:44Thirty years of marriage minus two years of cheating?
11:59Ah!
12:03Thirty years of marriage...
12:20Thirty years of marriage.
12:24Ass���lessぎ.
12:56Honey?
13:26Honey?
13:49Honey?
13:50Let's talk.
13:56I can't endure another low, Charles.
14:18Let's just part ways while things are still good.
14:23Okay?
14:25I think...
14:27I think she did the right thing.
14:30She had a point.
14:32I mean, I kind of pity you, but...
14:37Whatever.
14:38I think I know exactly what you must have been feeling.
14:41Yeah.
14:50I was cruising on my bike all by myself on that dark deserted country road.
14:56Maybe searching for my own self.
14:58Let's go.
14:59Let's go.
15:05Let's go.
15:16Oh, my God.
15:46That crash signaled a reset.
16:16It didn't take long for me to find my peace.
16:26Eyes wide open, yet it felt like I was peering into my very soul, delving into uncharted territories
16:35within me, untangling all the knots of pain and sorrow.
16:42Pure bliss surged through me, and tears of joy were streaming down my face.
16:48Time flew by.
16:58And then?
16:59What in the war?
17:10She was evidently not from around here.
17:17The only other country that crossed my mind was Mexico.
17:21In that instant, my brain shifted gears, switched to Spanish.
17:25Who knew it, Chiquita?
17:55So tell me about this garage.
18:19Well, I live near here, but you know, there ain't but one dang garage on this whole stretch
18:25of road.
18:26You're mighty lucky, because it's only about a mile down the road.
18:31Well, hey, you see many migrant crossings around here?
18:36Not too many.
18:37Why do you ask?
18:37Because I thought I saw somebody in that valley last night.
18:44Viste una Chiquita?
18:47Why do you say that?
18:49Well, I reckon I see her sometimes.
18:53No one ever believes me.
18:55They just think I'm plum crazy.
18:59Okay.
19:00I didn't see anybody either.
19:02Is this it?
19:03There's a mechanic in there.
19:05Maybe he can help you.
19:06Listen, good luck.
19:08You're welcome.
19:09Take it easy.
19:18I didn't want to come off as some nut job, so I kept it to myself.
19:26While the mechanic was checking my bike, though, I gave a ring to an old buddy of mine who's
19:31a shrink.
19:34Visions?
19:35In your case?
19:35Visions could mean two things.
19:38Either you've been dabbling with the psychedelics and messing with your brain, or the recent
19:42changes in your life, like that unexpected divorce to your beloved wife.
19:48Must have really taken a toll on you and messed up your brain.
19:51Negative on both counts.
19:52Negative on both counts.
19:53I mean, I was down for a while, but I got over it.
19:56Okay.
19:58Then, could it have just been a bad dream?
20:01No, because the old man I met this morning clearly said little girl, and he specifically
20:05mentioned Chiquita.
20:06Let me tell you something.
20:09I ain't saying this applies to you.
20:11But there's a notion that when your brain activity or frequency goes down, like in deep
20:17meditation, you might start perceiving things that regular folk can't.
20:21It's something we can test out, you know.
20:26So why don't you come on over?
20:35So how's it looking?
20:36Well, I fixed the circuit issue and the spark plug.
20:40You're all set.
20:42It's safe to hit the road.
20:44Thank you much.
20:44Hey, man.
21:07Hey.
21:08So I was wondering, whose motorcycle is that up there at the entrance?
21:13Wow, what happened?
21:14Well, nothing.
21:15I saw the face of an old man on it, and I'd kind of like to meet him.
21:18You know him?
21:19Yeah.
21:20Oh, man, I'm sorry, but he died years back.
21:24What?
21:25Yeah, I'm surprised you stopped at his bike.
21:27He used to always joke that his soul would always be there, and anyone that wants to see
21:31him can meet him there.
21:33Right then, it became clear to me that there was no need for me to see any doctor.
21:38So, uh, would you sell that bike?
21:43Well, I wanted to find out what the hell was going on.
21:48So, I decided to bring the old guy to me, wherever he was, and I bought his bike.
21:56All right, now buckle up, y'all.
22:08So, I dug into the papers I found on his bike.
22:12Turned out they were from a book talking about the mystical experiences of Indian sages in
22:17the Himalayan mountains.
22:18I figured out that my man was part of a biker's club that had been there, got more details
22:25about the club, spoke to a few of his colleagues, and guess what?
22:30They told me that Henry was a Devi Pasaka, meaning a devotee of the Divine Mother.
22:38Parashakti, as they call her.
22:39Parashakti, as they call her.
22:40Parashakti, as they call her.
22:41But here's where it gets real juicy.
23:09Parashakti, as they call her.
23:23You see, Mother appears in various forms, and the form Henry worships is
23:29See, he used to worship her in that valley.
23:39And if I'm right, on the exact same spot.
23:55That's really intriguing.
23:56Have you ever seen her again in your spiritual practice?
24:02Well, the funny thing is, after that night, I never had another vision of Davy.
24:09I did wonder why it happened right then, though.
24:12I thought on it a while, and I realized that that valley was soaked in the worship of Davy.
24:21And then maybe, with the realization of my divorce, I was finally open and receptive
24:28to experience that mystical dimension of life that so few ordinary people ever get to touch.
24:35You know, I don't know.
24:58But as I got further into Davy and yoga and the deeper philosophies,
25:05it finally gave me words to express the feelings that I felt when my wife left.
25:11A way to make sense of it all and find peace.
25:15Whether there's a higher power, like Davy, or not, I don't really care.
25:26I don't really care either.
25:28But it's really cool.
25:31I feel ya.
25:31Oh, my.
25:43Oh, I'm fine.
25:46I'm fine.
25:47Wait until you see this one.
25:49Oh, goodness.
25:51Come on out, girl.
25:51Oh, my goodness.
25:52Oh, my goodness.
25:54Oh, hello.
25:56How are you?
25:57How are you?
25:57Nice to meet you.
25:58It's a pleasure.
25:59It's a pleasure.
25:59Have you all had a nice trip?
26:01Yeah.
26:02You ready to get inside and get warm?
26:04Well, here, let's see.
26:06So, they give you one of these.
26:09So if you like microscopes, telescope, and you just hold it up like this.
26:14Let me look at the picture.
26:15Oh, my goodness.
26:29All right, everybody.
26:57Lunch is ready.
26:59Lunch is ready.
27:00Ready to have lunch?
27:01Yeah.
27:02We can have lunch.
27:02In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
27:05Amen.
27:07Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty.
27:12Bless us, O Lord.
27:13Amen.
27:14Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
27:17Amen.
27:23One, two, bump.
27:27Boom.
27:27And bump.
27:29And we'll bump.
27:29Bump.
27:30And bump.
27:31And then we'll do our double, double.
27:33Double, double.
27:34Fips.
27:34Fips.
27:35Double, double.
27:36All that.
27:37Didn't life just rejuvenate when kids are out, huh?
27:40Of course.
27:40You know, why don't you come and stay with us a while?
27:47Well, I appreciate the offer.
27:49But, you know, I've been on my own now for about 11 years.
27:54I've kind of built a family right here in this part of the county.
27:57And I reckon I'm just kind of more comfortable on my own.
28:03I understand where you're coming from.
28:06But are you absolutely sure that you are genuinely happy?
28:10You see, true happiness comes solely from true love.
28:14The kind that only a genuine God can provide.
28:18Now, I don't got to tell you how loving and caring our Lord and Savior is.
28:20You already know that.
28:23You know, but here's something I want you to consider.
28:25What good is this happiness if it's just going to land you in hell?
28:33Excuse me just a second.
28:34Hold on.
28:35Freya!
28:44Freya!
28:45Let me introduce my family to you.
28:47It's my daughter Anna, her husband Joel, and my little Olivia.
28:52Freya, my young neighbor.
28:53She lives next door.
28:55Hi.
28:56Hi.
28:56Hi.
28:59You know, for a minute there, I actually thought he had some love in his heart.
29:03But it turns out he's just another desperate soul trying to evangelize.
29:09What bothers me is not being able to fire back at all that warped logic.
29:13Even though I was a pretty good debater when I was back in school.
29:16I'm not going to let him do that to that little girl, though.
29:20I'm going to fill her head full of questions before she leaves.
29:24Good luck with that.
29:25But don't ruin the occasion.
29:28You too.
29:29What do you mean?
29:30Well, don't look now, but I think someone back there is trying to get your attention.
29:34I've seen plenty of guys like that since I was, like, 14.
29:43Everyone just wants to make their debut.
29:44Nothing more.
29:45I've learned to live life past all that hoopla.
29:47Well, and you were right, too.
29:52About?
29:54I've been thinking about the other day.
29:56I reckon we shouldn't have thrown away that statue.
30:00That's part of Anna's faith, and I need to respect that as meaning for her.
30:05I guess I was just a little riled up about all that idol-worshiping hypocrisy, you know?
30:17Having trouble sleeping?
30:31You could come sit with your old man if you'd like.
30:47Dad, were you upset with me?
30:57Don't lie to me.
30:59About what?
31:03When Mom left, and I wasn't there for you.
31:10Why are you asking about that now?
31:14Now I have a kid.
31:15And a husband.
31:19And I understand what it's like to be without them and be all alone.
31:30Yeah.
31:32I suppose I was.
31:36I mean, after 30 years of marriage,
31:39it looked like your mom decided to leave me for some guy from New York City.
31:43And I felt like my daughter didn't have time to pick up the phone and check on her old man.
31:51I mean, for your mom,
31:54I told myself I just wasn't sophisticated enough.
31:58And with you,
32:01I just didn't seem like that big a deal, you know?
32:10Hey, I know,
32:11hurts like a bee sting, but
32:12I got over it.
32:17Six months or so,
32:19and I moved on.
32:20But Dad, you didn't move on.
32:24If you had, you would have found somebody else.
32:29No.
32:31No, see, when your mom left,
32:33I realized that what I lacked in my life was the essence of femininity.
32:39And I don't mean another woman.
32:42It's two different concepts.
32:46By the essence of femininity,
32:47I mean contentment,
32:50peace,
32:53understanding,
32:54grace.
32:55I suppose I was
32:58as wild as a Mustang on the open range.
33:03So I decided to cultivate those qualities inside myself to
33:07find some sense of wholeness and balance.
33:11I didn't even have the words to
33:16express these ideas to myself
33:18until I encountered the Parashakti,
33:23the Divine Mother.
33:29Look,
33:30I know this stuff probably doesn't make any sense to y'all, but
33:34because we're all on different paths
33:37just trying to find our way.
33:38what's right for me
33:41might not be right for you or anybody else.
33:44No one ever told me,
33:46hey, Charles, this is
33:47the right thing to do.
33:51It's just my own personal journey.
33:54I...
33:55I never expected such profound thoughts
33:59from my old man.
34:05Dad, I...
34:07I apologize for everything that happened.
34:13And I genuinely want you to consider moving in with us.
34:18You know how it makes me feel
34:19to be able to open up to my daughter like this?
34:23Don't tell me that.
34:26It just makes me feel worse
34:27for not being there for you.
34:29But I do...
34:31I do feel a sense of relief
34:34after sharing this.
34:38It makes me feel that same sense of joy
34:40I felt that night in the valley.
34:42It makes me feel like I've been up to you.
34:54And now it's my granddaughter's turn.
34:56Oh.
34:56Baby.
34:57Come here.
34:58Come here.
34:59Here for a moment.
34:59Let's get you back to bed, okay?
35:00I don't want to go to bed.
35:01I know, sweetie, but you're sleepy
35:02and we've got to drive back home tomorrow.
35:03Sleepy and we've got to drive back home tomorrow.
35:06But I don't want to go to sleep.
35:08So I'll tell you what.
35:09Why don't you leave the munchkin in here with her grandpa while you go to bed?
35:16Well, look, she's going to blabber a lot, but don't engage.
35:19Okay, just listen and eventually she'll fall asleep.
35:22Okay.
35:25Hey, munchkin, how'd you like to go sit in grandpa's favorite rocking chair?
35:29I loved you.
35:30Well, let's do just that.
35:32I felt really bad for Lucky.
35:35I'm sure.
35:36It was the smallest one and he wasn't getting treated well.
35:41The black one, Sonic.
35:43And then the girl, Sonic.
35:55And one of them was, well, we couldn't really tell their gender at first.
36:01Grandpa, how do you reach something that looks like it's right there, but it actually isn't?
36:24Grandpa, I think you should come and stay with me.
36:28That's the right thing to do.
36:35Okay, y'all, it's brunch time.
36:37We've got to eat up real quick so we can hit the road.
36:39Coming!
36:42Oh, Dad, why don't you say grace before we dig in?
36:45No, that's okay.
36:49You go ahead.
36:50Come on, Dad.
36:51This is your house.
36:52We would love to hear your prayer.
36:56Yes, yes, yes.
36:58We would love to hear your prayer.
36:59Let's pray.
36:59Let's pray.
37:01Let's pray.
37:02Let's pray.
37:03Let's pray.
37:04Let's pray.
