Jack Long

My name is Jack Long, I am in Dlab 2 and I love life. I love you, I love earth, I love me. I have learned a lifetime's worth of knowledge in the last 10 weeks and I couldn't be more grateful. I have learned how to live my life in a way that is fulfilling and radiant. I have learned how to spread my happiness and put my creative energies into many different forms like gardening and writing. I have learned all about nature, geology, and life through the community garden and both the (human nature) and Land+Scape+Water+Color immersions so far. In the second immersion I learned so much about life and how nature is part of us. I have been able to satisfy my curiosity and improve my livelihood because of my learnings. On my TPopper my passions for being in the wilderness, snowboarding, fishing, rafting, and more are what gives me happiness. I have learned so much about nature and its origins, about our origins. I have learned how we humans are a part of a grand ecosystem we call earth and how to save it by altering our lifestyles for the better. When I play music it's an idea coming to life, its thoughts and emotions taking their own abstract physical form. It's a life form that holds inspiration and ideas. And all of my knowledge and insights that I have gained from the last 10 weeks going through immersions 1 and 2 and the community garden are represented in this song. To me, doing good means being present and aware. Be caring and thoughtful to others around you. Love everyone as a whole. Love everything as it is. Live in accordance with the present moment and try to help people see this. I want to have the influences on people that other people have had on me to put me in the position I am in now. This experience inspires others to do good because it is original and relative to what they are doing in their lives. Exploring their passions and learning, which is what I have been doing at One Stone and that's what my music is to me. I have learned that I am passionate about having fun, nature, and learning. I want everyone to be happy like me and so that is my purpose - Helping people become a better person.
